    Hi Karl, if your caliper sliding pin bushes are worn, you will get a lot of rattle and clunking over bumps. Even clunking and knocking on slow turns,both going forward and reverse.

There is no knocking but just doesn't feel...

    Suspension buffer wear

    Thanks palfy. I was going to replace the top mounts but when i saw the wear on the buffer changed my mind. I ordered 2 new buffers anyway and should have them in the morning. Trying to eliminate a slightly loose feel over bumps but its hard to pinpoint.
