Klunking noise

[whistles_n_bells]

Folks, let me toss this out - for what it is worth; there has been a number of discussions over recent years that address air brake slack adjusters - and possible control arm issues. Just a thought. If you do a Google search "brake slack adjusters," there are numerous articles and diagrams - including results of NTSB accident investigations involving air brake-equipped buses and trucks. It is possible that a faulty control arm could be the culprit.

I found this link very informative:

Again, I hope this might be useful. I am not a mechanic. The articles provide good reading.
