Subject:Clunks, not squeeks
From:Tom Moritz
Date:Fri, 10 Mar 2000 17:47:46 -0500

With all the chatter about squeeking, I thought I ought to inquire about
clunking.  Our 1990 Westy generates a clunking sound when we drive over
rough roads.  The sound is very audible from the drivers seat, slightly
audible from the passenger seat and can not be heard at all from the back
bench seat.  The sound is most severe when only a driver is in the car,
having somebody sitting in the passenger seat seems to lessen the severity
of the sound.  For this reason I think it is orginating from the front
passenger side suspension.

We have had our mechanic, Rocky Jennings Enterprises of Walla Walla, WA,
look at this problem.  He has checked all the nuts and bolts, the shock
bushings and bolts and has not discovered the source of the problem.  Now
I'm turning to the vast experience that is available through this list.
Can you help me?

Thanks in advance,

Tom Moritz
