I get a fairly heavy clonk on a right hand lock on the the near side when going over small bumps. Car is a C240 older style V reg. This is my 1st visit so hello all and there will be a couple of other things soon.

Most clonk related noises from suspension point to a worn balljoint,top mount or a broken spring.

As the previous post Kelvin, but remember a worn out shocker will give a clonk every time it gets ' unloaded ' quickly.
Had worn roll bar bushes before, but they only made a clonk when pulling away or stopping.
