Unexplainable front end 'clunk' 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be bl on  Fri Apr 4 03:24 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I had a clunk that was driving me nuts after front shock replacement. Turned out to be the "gland nut" ( large nut that holds the shock in the strut) was loose. Jack up the side you think is involved, remove the wheel and with a large screwdriver or cold chisel with the cutting edge ground flat, place it against one of the "tabs" of the nut and strike with a hammer in the CW direction to tighter it. If it is loose, continue tapping it until tight. If this nut is loose, the shock can move within the strut causing a clunk. Good luck!
