There have been some noise coming from down under and it has been irritating me because I couldn't get rid of it, it was a sort of clunking noise at low speed from the rear-axle area. I had the Amazon on stands a number of times but couldn't find anything. All the bushes had been replaced during the restoration of my 122. After reading some postings on the Brickboard about clunking noises I was motivated to solve the problem this time. I put the car up on stands again and found that there was a little play in the upper trailing arm bushes. I removed the arm and checked: The bolts and bushes which were all in excellent condition and I came to the conclusion that there must have been play between the bolt and the steel inner tube of the rubber bush. Only tightening of the bolts would stop that. I put everything back together with heavy washers and tightened the bolts very well..... and yes the annoying noise is gone. You wouldn't think that this could create so much noise in the body of the Amazon.
