Hello everyone,
Over the past 6 months I have been doing my best to bring an old 1992 75 Series Troopcarrier back to its former glory. Since buying it, I have noticed some clunks coming for the front end of the vehicle under certain conditions. I have noticed that the the front leaves tend to pop and move around when they are wet causing some unpleasant sensations when driving.
There is however this 'pop' coming from what feels like under the passenger footwell at random times. Its very abrupt and my girlfriend who sits in the passenger side says she can feel it in her feet in the footwell. It appears when the vehicle undergoes heavy load, heavy accelerations, changes of directions (forward and backward) and large bumps. It appears completely randomly (only some bumps cause it) making it difficult to reproduce for diagnosis.
So far I have tried:
Replacing leaf spring bushes
Replacing tie rod ends
Replacing sway bar links
Removing the sway bar completely to see if the noise goes away (it didnt)
checked the shock for play and or movement
Tried tightening to body mount under the passenger footwell
So far all of these attempts have failed and the 'pop' is still present.
Anyone got any ideas of what else could cause this? its driving me nuts
