Guys,

I sometimes experience a very loud bang (coming from the wheels) under hard acceleration over bumpy roads, same bang can be heard under hard braking over uneven roads. It feels like the whole suspension might fall off. Any ideas on this?

Thanks,

Jan.

Re:loud bang under havy acceleration

I had a similar thing today as it happens, I was pushing it hard round a corner that dipped, I heard a bang, I susspect it was just the suspension bottoming out, never had it with just hard acceleration though

Re:loud bang near wheel arches

Doubtful if it's bottoming suspension , unless u've lost yr bump stops.

More likely 2 b a(or some) worn suspension bushes , probably radius links or diff mounts.

As replied in another thread, this could also be caused by wound-up springs. Try and jack the car up so they'll unwind and see if it helps.
