G'day,
I've got this loud, annoying clunking/knocking noise coming from the front passenger side of my manual R31 Skyline. Initially I got a pedders suspension check and they suggested new bushes AND struts, quoting $900 in total. I took it to another joint (Good Year) and they said only the bushes need replacing. They did this at a cost of $200 (inc wheel alignment). The car has driven much better since then, and the noise is less frequent, but still severe. It's certainly coming from the passenger side.
Sounds like it's coming from either the wheel area or somewhere under the front passenger seat. I even emptied the glove box to make sure it wasn't from in there! Generally it only makes the noise when coming off throttle, in neutral (IE rolling towards traffic light) and braking, and it gets worse over bumps and going down an incline. Also, the noise is louder when there is someone sitting in the front passenger seat.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I love my car but atm its embarassing driving ppl in it
Cheers
