Leaf spring bushes might be worn, but even when they're in good order they move and clunk. Unless it's knocking almost constantly I wouldn't be too worried.

IT'S BACK!

So after about 25 miles of driving the noise returns!!
Still baffled

Change your leaf spring bushes for the poly bush ones, sorted my clunking out

Think the they're already poly, they're orange?

yep they will be then

Sily question...does it happen on normal road corners , or junctions, just wonder as if back end is lifting as you go round ' sharper ' junction corners , could well be the leaf springs moving?

my guess would be a spanner or the like left somewhere not easy to spot (like on the cross member in front of radiator) that is sliding back and forth. Possibly even a socket dropped into the chassis by a previous owner perhaps ?

It could be anything!

I've done a few hindered miles now and it hasn't stopped or got worse, do I just carry on till something snaps or falls off???

Thing is, I've driven a load of differet stuff from rotten B2000 Mazda pickups on farms to Porsches, I know the L200 is gonna be noisey to drive, as long as its safe it doesn't worry me one bit.

yep just carry on till something snaps or falls off gets my vote
I doubt it will.

I had a similar isuue turned out to be a cracked leaf in the spring.
I still run with the same springs with that leaf missing no noise now either

Ok, will do!

Did you ever figure this out? I've got exactly the same symptoms

same here leaf springs are polybushed and my spare is pumped up,shock bushes all fine ujs all fine.i havee got litteraly no ide. bought a new gearbox mount and that got rid of one noise but still not the knocking/cluncking from the rear.

I have fixed it, new u bolts. The bolts had come loose but cudnt really tell as they wudnt tighten because they were seized and the weight hangs off them so they seem tight, jack it up on the bolt pads

I have a knock going around roundabouts on mine at the rear... which U-bolts?

front spring eye bushes maybe

Broken leaf

Shot in the dark but how about your prop centre bearing??
