I'll do what nobody tends to do on forums these days and post the problem that has now been resolved. PASSENGER SIDE WISHBONE- needed tightening. Noise gone. Cheers

I looked at both sides with wheels off and all 4 ends sit snugly on their calliper edges, can't see how they would move up/down as there is no gap for them to move into!!!

Does it when using handbrake/no brake so definitely not brake related

I mean as in no point asking anyone to look at it other than Renault as I am a capable hands on person

Car spent best part of the week on axle stands with both front wheels off. Apart from the NSF balljoint (which passed the MOT with but changed as looked a likely culprit!) and the dog bone, every else seems 'tight' , been all under the front end with a bar looking for something 'loose' but nothing.

Bolts tight -YES Disc held on by wheel bolts (retaining screw only really for keeping disc on hub if wheel off) Best way to check top mounts? Thanks

I'm more than capable! I have looked at the top mounts and all seems ok, don't forgot it passed the MOT this week so am sure anything like that would covered?

In other words I get a clunk when I change direction!

No defiantly 1 x short 'clunk', when the weight of the car is transferred from front to back or back to front. Not there during normal driving, i,e pulling off from lights. If I was to reverse at the lights for any distance, then drive off the lights then I would get 1 x 'clunk.

Rears are drums. Definitely coming from the front end. Yes, I did replace both drop links and dogbone. Had other 2 mounts off today and they are fine. Just come back from taking car to large area and did some tests. Full lock right hand down, going back and forth, can hear the noise going...

@imprezaworks - Any thoughts? Thanks

Big load releasing. Lol

Not that sort of 'tap', it's a big load releasing after reversing causing this loud clunk. No flexi.

Good idea, thanks Steve.

Steering Rack?

My next culprit is the mount under the battery tray, but the sound really does sounds like a lump hammer is striking the area around the dog-bone mount/ behind ashtray area if that makes sense. So far: 2 Anti roll bar links OSF balljoint. Dog Bone Mount Thanks

Ball joint all good. Driveway smooth (tarmac) And no, nothing when driving and coming to a stop. Coil spring, mmm, possibly, but sound is coming from the exact location of the dog bone mount, not either side where the springs/top mounts are located.

I have read a thread ending in it being the driveshaft teeth 'rounding' off and seen the pictures of the new driveshaft teeth, but with mine it doesn't even make the noise sometimes. I would say it does it 40% of the time, and definitely nothing in forward travel. I have spent time with the...

Hi, My 2005 Clio Campus 1.2 passed its MOT this week and failed on OSF anti-roll link ( which was disintegrated). Prior to taking the car in I was hearing this weird clunk at the end of reversing, it sounds like a metallic part has 'shifted' hence the noise. I replaced the dog-bone tonight...

Lol. Thanks, Perfect

Update - As I had 'chopped' grey and black connectors from a 2003, on the drivers side I had 3 wires which I was hoping would go to the car loom, alas I had only 6 which I colour matched and connected to the 6 (of 9) from the 'chopped' section. I decided to try and colour match the spare 3 from...

Thanks, yes correct!

No one?

Hi I can't open the link? Any thoughts? Cheers ,

Just an update I found last night that the three wires missing on each side are for the black connector which takes care of the side airbag's three wires, Brown and blue in an orange sheath and a black on its own. So in a nutshell I have side airbags are no wires coming from the car to !!!

Bump

Anyone?

Hi all. Have spent hours researching but I am at a loss and hope someone can help. I have bought a 1.2 Campus (8v I believe), with the previous owner making a right mess of the underwear airbag/tensioner wiring. Having stripped the looms back to the Airbag ECU I have the following issues: 1...
