Clunking
I have a 1973 Super Bug and have started getting the occassional 'clunk' noise coming from underneath - sounds like a rock flicking up and hitting
the underneath. Only happens now and again.
I recently had the front brake pads changed and they also give the occasional squeal - Could the two be related?
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Does it just do it randomly or when accelerating, turning, stopping etc?

Thanks, does it randomly but will have to start taking more note exactly when - it's definitely not specific to turning or accelerating. |

thats very common with strut front ends that need a freshen up
u'll notice its when u hit a bump
itll most likely be either worn ball joints, swaybar or control arm bushings or possibly upper strut bearings
are u getting the token 50mph superbeetle wobble/shimmy??
