hi newbie here started to drive my 07 today clunking noise from rear end any ideas/

Suspension would be my vote, the spring seems to eat through the rubber bumper part then the spring makes contact with the plastic part, does it clunk when you go over uneven ground?

Second would be the anti role bar bushs

Third would be the rear tail gate its self, to which you would have to adjust the rubber stops

Forth would be your spare wheel not done up right



The list goes on but that's where I would start  Freelander 57 plate XS Blue Auto

thanks for that,had thoughts it might be to do with rear diff,haldex unit.will check springs,

no just road travel but enough for me to turn back.

hi again, taking it into indie fri, if worst case wheres best place for rear diff ?

Hi, I had similar noise from the back end of the car when driving over speed bumps etc.. Then I found out that this noise was made by tailgate lock rubbing over other parts when tailgate was closed. So I used silicone lubricant, which I sprayed a little bit the tailgate lock (just the plastic cover). After that, all clunking noises disappeared. Hope this helps.
