Yup. It took me years to figure out what that clunk was. People kept saying,
"splines, wire wheels, A-arm bushings," etc., etc. I finally figured it out
when it actually slipped sideways going around a corner hard.
Other parts that work loose on MGB's and other LBC's are the head nuts. This
makes the head gasket weep so that there's always water injection in the
cylinders. This causes the car to be hard to start when cold but show no other
symptoms. I always check the torque on the head before adjusting the valves.
