Rear end clonk!

[Greeney in France]

Bringing the quatrelle home the other day, I noticed I have a rear end clonk going around a left hand corner sometimes, it unerved me at first as it felt like a loose wheel but wasnt. It wallows like a pig in a pool as the Shocks are gone but its just that single clonk it goes right through the rear body.
The car has nt been going since 2001 but was in a garage and is pretty much rust free none at all on the chassis before i get to jack it up later this week is there any ideas.
I would also like 4 new wings if anyone knows where to buy them as mine arent rusty but quite battered thank you

Hi again


Cant really help re the noise Mine all rattle in the back but maybe not as bad

Wings are still available from your local Renault dealer in France Even the smallest dealer can get them next day for you
The parts numbers are:

Aile avant gauche 7701638295
Aile avant droite 0820565200
both are 60,48 each plus TVA and are very good quality original parts they can be got cheaper in the UK but the carriage makes it not worth while
They will be impressed if you go in and give them the part numbers
I took a renault workshop manual in and pointed at the pictures !!!!

I fitted mine in minutes no problems
