Stop calling it a "FJ."
Hi All:
My daily driver is a 1991 Isuzu Trooper I bought new. It now has about 140,000 miles on it. There is a "clunk" that comes from the front suspension (IFS) when hitting bumps, potholes, and so on. I am trying to figure out what part(s) might be loose, worn, broken, etc.
The Trooper has a independant front suspenion not unlike that of a 1986-95 Toyota 4wd mini-truck or 4Runner: "A" arms and torsion bars.
Additional info: the shocks were replaced about 5,000 miles ago, but the "clunk" has not gone away. The truck has been sporting an ARB bullbar (an extra 125 lbs.) since 1998 (70,000 miles or so.)
Anyone have any thoughts of what might be causing this "clunk?"
Thanks much for any help!
Regards,
Alan
