   I recently had my driver side driveshaft replaced. The car is still clunking occasionally when i turn near enough full lock and also occasionally if i put my foot down then take it off there is a small clunk.
   
   Does this sound like the other driveshaft needs replacing or something else?

   could be rear gearbox mount?
   
   Best thing is to put the front on axle stands and give everything a good shake to feel for any play in bushes, engine mounts etc

   actually yeah sounds like it could be a mount! just took it for a drive and i noticed going over bumps in the road it clunks so could be the driveshaft as well as a mount?

   how much did it cost you to replace the mounts for gearbox and engine? or did you do it yourself?

    £16.99 for two at your local Bullseye matey, could give it a shot and see what the outcome is.
