Default Clunks and thumps
Hi All,

Well last friday I went to Stockton for the second time but this time with the 30x9.5's on. Anyway, I eventually got stuck running around in the dunes and when I was reversing out, uphill, I got a lot of thumping noises etc. Everything was underload and progress was slow with a lot of wheelspin, the sand was soooo soft. It sounded like the front suspension moving around. Anyone else get this, normal???

I also noticed I get it running over corrugations in the sand, sounds like the door isn't fully closed and is thumping around but I don't think it's that, I'm fairly confident it's the suspension somewhere (also got it when I had the 225/75's on it). Anyway it's a 2000 XJ Sport, still under warranty, so if there's anything anyone thinks I should checkout I'd appreciate it while it still won't cost me.

Cheers
Steve
