Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I've got an '82 911 SC that has developed a clunk (almost sounds like something stuck in the wheel) - it started out just on over-run but now happens on pull off as well.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone have any ideas? I've got an '82 911 SC that has developed a clunk (almost sounds like something stuck in the wheel) - it started out just on over-run but now happens on pull off as well. I have quickly checked the obvious hanging off things and if there is anything stuck in the wheels. Please Help!! Wayne Migration info. Legacy thread was 28364

POST 2Original post

Loose wheel arch liner or heat shield? Migration info. Legacy thread was 28383

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cheers Richard, The older 911's don't have wheel arch liners (not lucky enough to own a 993 yet!!!). I will check for heat shields - I have now got a sneaky feeling (or may be paranoia!!) that it is the driveshaft - not too bad a price tho' keep the ideas coming guys!!! Migration info.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

An update!! On the way home from work this evening, the noise got louder and I could feel it coming through the whole car. Pulled over to a layby and had a look underneath - nothing obvious but I managed to give the driveshaft a good tug - I was able to move it back and forth (from wheel to g'box). After doing this it was fine all the way home!! 1. Should the d'shaft have so much play 2. If not whats going on?? cheers Migration info. Legacy thread was 28393
