Hi everyone
I have a very annoying issue with my x350 the problem is when I reverse off my drive and drive forward whilst turning at low speed and brake I am getting a clunking noise I have had several garages look at it and no one can find the fault I am even thinking of scrapping the car.
I will try and put a video on here with the noise.
Any help would be really appreciated

The struts on these cars are a combination of a hydraulic shock and air 'bag'.
The hydraulic shock can fail and become noisy.
Hard to prove it is a strut except by replacing it.
I assume your mechanic has checked your ARB rubbers.

Hello, are the clunking noise coming from the front or rear?.. Places to check...Sway bar bushings and lower control arm bushings. I've heard they can cause the clunking noises.
