clunking over bumps? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be ken on  Tue Oct 26 09:12 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I drove a 93 850 yesterday... when going over bumps, there's a noticable clunk clunk coming from the front & rear suspension area. I couldn't pinpoint the noise, and the suspension doesn't feel at all loose.

I tested it by doing tight circles w/ the wheel fully turned one direction & then the other - no problems there... only this clunking/rattle over rough roads.

The steering feels a bit loose, but tollerable - any thoughts? This is pretty much my only hangup before buying the car.

The salesman told me that it could be the rubber(?) bushings around the tie-rods, but I don't know...

any help would be greatly appreciated.
