My car is a 944 S2 Cabriolet. Since I bought it over 3 years ago, I get a sort of clunking noise when I straighten up after a right hand bend at slow speed. The car has been serviced at 4 different places in that time and none of them have mentioned anything. As it isn't really causing a problem, I've kind of got used to it and don't really notice it. As it'll soon be winter and it'll spend a lot of time tucked away in the garage, so I'm thinking of getting to the bottom of it myself, rather than paying a garage to troubleshoot it. Any ideas what it might be? Cheers, Bryan |

Hi Briggy, I had exactly that in mine and became used to it. It wasn't until it went in for a gearbox refurb would you believe, the mechanic was mooching around and found the front n/s arb mount was in two! I guess the clunk was it moving around unrestricted. Worth a look, but if you have had people look at it already, I would think they would see that. Your symptoms are identical though Good luck |

I'd check the top of the front damper tubes - mine had some sideways sloppiness if you gave it a pull from the wheel arch.. Then take a look at the castor mounts - mine were loose(ish) and needed to be torqued up (I'm ashamed to admit to a schoolboy oversight on my part when replacing the old mounts...) G |

Thanks folks. Will do some investigating in a few weeks when it gets tucked up in the garage. At least I now know it's more likely to be suspension than steering. Cheers, Bryan |
