This is driving me crazy!!

My car started making a clunk noise from the front centre. Initially it was only as I came to a compete stop you would hear a faint click. This has got steadily worse and now it is driving me mad. In this video: http://www.notachicken.com/car/noise.mp4
I am in 1st coming on and off the accelerator so that I am rapidly slowing and speeding up and you can hear it clunking back and forward.

I have taken the car to my usual mechanic who has been totally unable to locate the problem. It is getting worse by the day and I am worried something is going to fall off eventually!

The noise is as you can tell quite loud and sounds like it is something fairly weighty, in fact you can sometimes feel it through your feet.

Does anyone have any clues as to what it might be?

 

sounds like it could be a duff shocker

 

Ball Joints!

 

Have a look at the universal joints on the prop shafts

 

I have the exact same problem on mine. would love to know also.

 

i had the same problem. it was the rubber on the top mount of the shock absorber that has worn away. could be the same problem??? check it out

 

Ok took it to the pros and they did this:
Removed intercooler to inspect gearbox support, found to be under stress, removed and refitted in "relaxed" state. See part here:
