Hi again.
I've got an odd and annoying 'kronking' sound when I pull off my slightly sloped drive. It has a very low kerb on the end of bit, perhaps an inch high to the pavement, and when I inch forward off the kerb (just rolling, no power) there is 'kronk' for each wheel that drops.
It's not a knock or a donk, more a 'kronk' or a 'knuckly' sound??
I can feel it through the cab/ floor...
Happens when I reverse back up the drive too.
Ride quality underway is fine, nice and straight, not noises, no 'kronks' over speed humps etc, very stable ride with no steering issues or suspension issues.
Just seems to be when I pull onto a kerb at an angle.

I noticed the sway bar bushings seem to be well worn and have ordered replacements so I'm wondering if this might be the culprit?

It would really help to hear what else could cause this kronking sound and vibration as I've just changed the Shackle bushings to see if they get rid of the sound but they didn't.

Also any hints or tips on how to clean these areas up? they look terrible and I'd love to get them looking cleaner and neater.

Many thanks
