Hi All,

I'm getting a clunking noise when going over potholes (there are quite a few in South Wales) from the N/S Rear wheel.

I don't think it's exhaust (it's not a tinny enough noise) or back axle noise (as it's just on one side).

The noise also seems to bounce on particularly bad bumps.

I have just fitted a new brake caliper to this side (I had to file this down as the car has 14" alloys on it).

Can you guys advise on things to check?

This is the kind of thing my father would have known straight away, but sadly he died last year, so I'm on my own with this car now!!!
