Clunk Clunk, Who's There?

[Hadouken]

Hi all

I have a clunk coming from the front, to be more specific its either right under the pedals or its in the centre. Quite hard to pin point the exact location.

Now i have the car booked in for a inspection. Im making this thread to gauge what it could be.

Time for some symptoms.

If I drive say 60/70km/h and get right on the brakes, there is no noise, maybe the faintest noise, but it could just be me being paranoid.

But if im going 40 or below and brake hardish, I get a clunk clunk and if i dont stop during this part and start accelarating i get another clunk when the weight has transferred back.

I can replicate this quite easily in my driveway,

Go forward - brake - clunk as the car stops

Reverse - brake - clunk as car stops

There isnt any noise over bumps, in saying that, i went down a real bumpy road (downhill) and was making the same clunking noise. Other than that one incident it hasnt occurred whilest just driving.

Some say castor rod ends, some say control arm bushes. Im sure the tyre shop im taking it to will find something. I hope at least

Thanks for any input

What castor rods do you have and how old?

[GTSBoy]

Rack mounts are a possiblity.

Standard, 18 years old haha

Whilst having a looksy underneath, I grabbed left and right side drive shafts and could move them about 5mm from side to side, also there is this gunky goo.

I forgot to say, when I move them vigorously from side to side, it makes (what I think is) the same noise as when I brake

[Dobz]

Bingo!

Those driveshafts would have gotten away with too it if it wasn't for their pesky owner snooping around.

Cv boot by the looks of things. And both sides.
