Clunk

JCH · 01-02-2013, 11:28

My Terrano 2003 purchased three months ago, has an odd clunk when in full lock to the left.No problems if full lock not used, and no problems to right full lock. I can only describe it as a clunking sound.If I do a left turn and do not use the full lock there is not a problem. Any Idea's. Other than that it runs like a dream.
I live in France and have it booked into the local garage next week for investigation.,but They are not Terrano experts.
Normal driving is excellent, the problem is only full lock to the left.

Oh yes an excellent Club, very glad that I joined.
Thanks

well, id be 99% sure its the bump stops. give them all a good dollop of grease and that should fix it.

there are two per wheel.

do that, and cancel your garage appointment.

Grease your lock stops

On hub and bottom arm, they are contact points that determine your full lock

JCH · 01-02-2013, 13:07

Can you tell a very non mechanical person where these bump stops are located

JCH · 01-02-2013, 13:29

Are lock stops and bump stops the same thing

Just try greasing them first before you think about replacing.

puis-je s'il vous plaît un peu de graisse pour graisser ma bosse s'arrête sur mon terrano?

No need for a grease gun for this job, just a plain tub of grease and a plastic bag. Get a helper to standby. turn steering to full lock, it's easier to get at the leading edge lock stop and trailing edge of opposite side. Remove lid, place bag on hand, place said hand covered in bag into the grease and scoop nice small blob on fingers. Then smear over the lock stops on opposing sides. Now ask your helper to turn wheels to opposite lock and start all over again.

Job done, regrease when you hear the noise. Mine need it once or twice a year thats all.

Did you ever get a new battery for your hearing aid?

JCH · 01-02-2013, 20:27
