2005 XTrail suspension issue.


Hi guys,
My partner just purchased a 2005 xtrail which is having a few issues. We have a loud clunk coming from the front of the car when stopping and taking off. Gets worse when doing stop start driving and when the car has been driving for a while. It isn't noticeable when you first drive the car.

It just had a RWC done and the mechanic changed the castor or camber bushes if I remember correctly, I have double checked ball joints and tie rod ends and all seems fine.

Can anyone shed some light on the issue?

Alsocar occasionally stalls straight after start up, also takes a lot of cranking to start sometimes. I will change the crank and cam sensors as. Think this is the problem.

Thanks

Bit more info on your car would help. Manual or auto?
If manual I would lean towards wheel bearing as they did tend to wear out on the T30's. If auto it could be wheel bearing or something with the transmission.
Your stalling issue is most likely the cam and crank sensors as you suggested.

sorry its an auto, I dont think it will be a wheel bearing. Its a loud clunk and i can feel it thru the accelerator pedal slightly, could be transmission but i hope not.

Have you checked your auto transmission fluid? That would be my first stop. Then check diff/transfer case oils. After that probably take it to a transmission specialist and see what they think.

CVs are usually a click not a clunk but def worth a look as they are relatively cheap to replace.
