Hi Guys/Girls,
I have just joined this forum basically because you look like you actually do try to help AND I have nobody else left to ask.
I own a Mitsubishi Outlander 2005 auto with 212000 km on clock. First up I have to say this car has been a beaut, I bought it at 2600km and apart from the usual tyres timing belts and service it has never let me down. I want to keep it for another 2000000 if possible.
However heres the drama, I recently had to change the control arms with their ball joints, the rod bush?, both rear diff mount bushes and a front wheel bearing. (all bushes urethane)
Since this has been done there has been a very heavy knocking/clunking sound from the rear end when I take off at say a roundabout or when I have slowed and have to re apply the accelerator. It varies in loudness but to my ears it appears to be louder and harsher at speed. Basically it sounds like there is something trying to rip the back end off from underneath.
I have taken it back to garage and they have checked everything twice without result, their solution is to change my driving style to suit the noise.

HELP....PLEASE.... LOL

Thanks in anticipation.
