Nope! The mechanics’ have not got a Scooby Doo. I'll just have to wait for the clunk to get louder... Crazy!

I use a steelman wireless chassis ear for all my under car noises.works like a charm.has not failed me yet.one of the best peices of equipment that I have.You put clips on different areas components and can switch channels to isolate noise and pinpoint location.
