I think I mentioned this before, but I have a bit more detail now. I mentioned that I was getting clicking sounds -- single, loud clicks, whenever I applied my brake after driving for awhile. It does

Sounds to me like you have a problem with the radius arm bushings or the vertical link bolts. The symptom sounds like you have slack in the stationary parts of your rear suspension (maybe the front

While you may have replaced them, or they may have been replaced, if you didn't check the end float it may still be your u-joints. If you have disregard the latter. These joints, especially the axle

Another potential problem is that the U-joint cups can become loose in their holes in the yokes. The metal of the yokes can apparently expand after much use. You can spot this problem because the cup

This also sounds like it may be a U-joint problem to me. I encountered a similar problem. Make sure that the circlips that hold the cups in place are truly seated in the groove of the yoke. My clicki

Another thought here...I have seen the flange/yoke holes deformed by a worn u-joint rattling around in there too long (Damn that PO) before being replaced. So the flange/yoke hole may be misshapen so

My experience with loose U-Joints cups is that the symptom would be different. Rather than the clink on acceleration or deceleration, you will have a constant clink every time the U-Joint flexes mean

Often times under load, the "click" will diminish, or completely go away because the lateral pressure applied isn't sufficient to overcome the friction in the joints loaded condition to shift the joi

I have actually had the experience where the sound was dominant only when the car was under acceleration or gas being applied, took my foot off the pedal and it shut up. Oh well, I guess the best thi

That thought has merit. However, If I understand the symptoms Jeff described, it sounds all too familiar. I had a left rear vertical link that after removal and inspection revealed an oval bolt hole.

The operative word here is "Dominant". If the sound is there all the time, it would indicate a likely U-Joint problem. But if it is "Only" there on acceleration (one clink), deceleration or braking,

For MY sake, I hope YOU'RE right! The other stuff sounds hairy to deal with. Thanks to everyone else who has tried to brainstorm this problem for me though. It's all going into the "check this" file

This just points out how involved the suspension/drive train design is for Spitfires. Also, why they should be maintained. Terrence Banbury

I guess at that point (when I actually had the problem) it was more of what I noticed. Since at that time I had never driven a Spit with a quiet rearend I did not notice the whining. BTY my constant

Actually Joe, the single clink I hear from each wheel (the rears primarily) is only there on aggressive deceleration or braking. And just once. For example, if I've been driving for awhile and I go o

My symptoms were a rumbly sound while coasting at low speeds. It went away during acceleration. (I guess there was enough torque on the joint to keep it from banging around from the side loads.) The
