    Clunking sound after driving in the rain

    After a short drive to the store in the rain, I noticed my front end making a clunking sound when turning and occasionally from the rear but not as frequent. Is this the spring bushings in need of greasing? I don't think its the springs as they were still squeaking as normal.

    Doh! Series Rovers aren't made to drive in the rain! The wipers are there just to pass inspection and really...do they do anything anyway?

    Probably nothing to do with the rain - I would get under the truck and check for anything loose. In the front, check the axles if it's happening when you're turning. There were a few bolts around my swivel balls that came loose on their own, causing a clunk.

    Is the rear end clunk only under power, only during turning? Check u-joint in the driveshaft...

      Your in the NE so its probably something rusting and falling off. Don't they spray salt on the roads up there in summer too?
