Check that all the lug nuts on your rear wheels are tight. Please don't ask
why I'm suggesting that (head downcast).

Subject: [Spits] a new clunking noise
Just when I thought it was safe to put the wrenches away...
My Spitfire has a new sound. When I turn a corner at anything more
than walking speed I hear a clunk clunk clunk, maybe 3 to 5 clunks
right behind me which sound like something bouncing across a metallic
floor or swinging against a metallic wall. Except there isn't
anything to swing or bounce, nothing loose underneath nor under the
spare tire.
I fully expect one or more of you to say it is something come loose
in the gas tank. So what would it likely be? A filter perhaps? Is
it serious?
I don't relish the idea of pulling the tank, or even just pulling a
cover off.
Tanks in advance,
Jim Muller
