Broken T-5 suspension [Sounds like a tank]

[gotmeaT-5]

After a meeting between a grass bank and my T-5, I decided that was better than a 40 tonne Artic Lorry swirving around, it now sounds like a tank rattling away once I've travelled a few miles and before I begin to spend heaps at Volvo main agent I'd like some suggestions where to look for damage.

I have had a look at the drop links both are still in good shape only thing different is when I apply the brakes it pulls towards the right.

Could be a TCA inner bush that's torn out.

Track rod ends. ball joint. wishbone bushes. antiroll bar D bushes. play in steering rack. all the normal stuff.

I had the offside lower engine mount go on the old T5 - sounded awful, but a really easy fix. Worth a look. Just behind the OSF wheel arch - or jiggle the engine up and down a bit and hear it clonking,


If it pulls to the right it is likely to be a wishbone bush unless something has got bent. But as FC says, lots of possibilities need looking at.
