So I am driving in to work this morning going round a roundabout rather more enthusiastically than perhaps I should and theres a *thump* from the back end. Felt a bit like there was something in the boot that had shot from one side to the other. At the same time as the thump there was a bit of a wobble from the back end.
Hmm thinks me, that didnt sound good so i take it carefully for the next few miles. But nothing seems wrong.
Engine - Fine, running smoothly no warning lights
Brakes - Yep working fine
Auto Change - smooth, no lumps or bumps
Handling - Same as usual, waft-o-matic style no vibration at any speed
So I carry on thinking all is fine, no further drama until I get to work. I lower my window to use my car park pass and only then do I hear the chunk-chunk-chunk-chunk from the back. It varied with speed then disappeared as I crossed the cark park, then came back, then went again (I drove round the car park dfor a bit trying to pin the noise down).. anyway you get the picture.
As I had new rear springs recently I guess they have to be the #1 possible but the handling is fine and not sure problems there would result in the odd noises.
I had a poke around when I had parked up. None of the brake disks were particularly hot, all were warm, no brake components in places they shouldnt be. Nothing hanging down underneath, no fluid leaks. Bounced the front and rear end , suspension works as it should no odd noises.
So place your bets, will I get home and what will the cause turn out to be ?
