Was at a CVR4 meet today. Wynn and the other chaps heard my car make a clunking noise coming from the left as I manoeuvred to park. And sure enough driving around later, there is indeed an intermittent and quite loud clunk that can sometimes be heard coming from the front left of the car; notably when the suspension compresses as it goes over a speed hump or up a driveway ramp or something like that. Does this sound like a ball joint issue? My car has had the lower suspension arm recall done by the way.
In December last year the car failed its warrant of fitness for excessive play in the left hand inner rack end. I had this fixed. Would an improper repair here be the cause of this noise, or might having this repair done have exacerbated a ball joint problem? Also shouldn't the WOF check have detected a balljoint issue if there was one?
