Hey guys,
Recently my car has started to clunk (cant find a better word to describe it, but it feels like as if the car is running over a rock at least 3 inches high) whenever i cut the wheel all the way, like making u turns. Could it be bushings or something worse?
Also sorry lol I havent had heat since i got this 94 z28 in early 2004, im guessing either the heater core is shot or plugged up. How could i go about flushing the heater core?
And lastly, I need to replace my brakes soon, what is everyone's opinions on the best brake pads?

Thanks guys,
Dan

 

I had a similar clunk and feel when my front wheels were out of alignment - I had already replaced the end links; YMMV.

It sounds like you need a shop manual.

You can flush the core by using low pressure (read: garden hose) water through it. If the core is shot (likely), it's not exactly cheap to replace (was ~$200, IIRC).

For brakes, use the search feature of the forum. Are you just doing pads or pads and rotors?

 

I'd move this to "Suspension, Chassis and Brakes", but you've also included the heater core, which belongs on "General F-Body Tech & Info". In any case, none of this belongs on "LT1/LT4 Engine Tech". Moving.......

 

Broken Tranny mount.

 

I doubt it's a broken tranny mount as that clunk occurs on acceleration; he stated that he only hears it when he cuts the wheel all the way.

Jack up the front of the car and have a buddy turn the steering wheel from lock to lock while you inspect the steering/suspension system.

 

Ball joint?????? Tie rod end??????

 

another area where that clunk nosie can be is the rear end going out. I remember everytime when I would turn that nosie would drive me crazy

 

Dan,

for the brake I recommend Raybestos stuff!

Your clunk........ check all the suspension hardware for loose connections.
I had a simmilar problem at the rear end...... the sway bar endlinks were beat-up

hope this help
