Default Wrxy Thumping ! Help ! (and high end clean needed !! )

Ok sooooooo, apart from Bug 02 / covered in Bugs from hitting a swarm of locus bugs the size of small budgies, my rear passenger wheel is making a thumping sound when turning, and clunks ! very technical terms i know !?... What is wrong with my precious Bug !!!? any ideas, or who I should be taking it to for fixing !!!

As for the car, I have messaged the guy on here (phil) re cleaning, but just wondering on feedback from his cleaning or any recommendations...the bugs are practically baked on the front of the car is practically yellow in bug guts ! haha

Cheers !

Lis

The thumping may be coming from the rear suspension strut. You should probably take it to a workshop, so they can hear the noise in person.

Go and see Doug (dtrally) at STechnic for the thumping noise diagnosis.
Phil will do a great job cleaning the car.
