Clunk when reversing coming from the front

[PJ]

I have an 95 r33 auto without abs. When i put the car in reverse and start moving, as soon as I put the brakes on, hard or soft the car clunks somewhere in the front. Can feel it in the steering wheel, could be something in the steering. Im pretty sure my radius rod bushes are stuffed. Any ideas, I down the ocean road most weekends so im pretty worried as to what it is.

Get exactly the same thing, a small clunk when reversing then coming to a stop from the front end.

I'm keen to pinpoint what it is too?

I believe your top arm bushes might be worn..

I get that too.

Top arm bushes eh????

What sort of difference would that make on the road??

[PJ]

Everything is tight, so it must be something that is wornout as u have bin suggesting. More recently i have been having to use much more lock to turn when fanging on the ocean road. Not sure if my rear shock are worn out causing that. But is scary to think what could be causing it. If only i could be looking underneath when it does it.

its most probably your bushes, but you should get the same sort of noise in drive too. one way to test is to get some to see if the front wheels move forwards or backwards when braking. just let the car crawl along and apply the brakes a few times.
