Still Clunking....


Recommended Posts

Still have the clunk i was talking about before. ruled out end links, sways, anything related to control arms, tie rods and the left side axle (all are new). Happens when shifting from F to R (or vice versa) and slow speed turning (parking). Also, if lifted, the gears are changed (going to N in between, no brake) the sound does not happen, but does happen when force is applied (brake). please help me, also im driving back to Va on tuesday, so ill have to do it there (with the help of someone on here...hopefully :( ).

well there ain't much left it could be, but the passenger axle/CV joint is one thing consistent with what you describe. If it is bad, then the clunking should be more noticeable (worse) when making left turns.

Bad CV joints clunk especially when they are the outside wheel in a turn.

Another place to look (but it is a longshot) - check the bolts that hold the transmission to the engine. When I had my budget RMS job done these bolts were not properly torqued and most were loose. I had a clunk when shifting that tightening up the bolts fixed. A few of them are a hassle to get to, but you can check them all.

I'd check the mounts before I did anything else though.

start by checking the lower trans mount....i bet you the rubber bushing is totally severed.
I forgot to mention that every single mount is new, and the top one is filled with urethane, btw, that is so easy to do. So it could be my right side CV even though there are no typical CV like sounds.... I am at a loss here.

you mean the bolts on the bell housing?

Watching the video it sounds like it's coming from the area of the CV joint and out towards the rotor. The boot looks dry and intact but it almost seems like there's a bulge in the boot that matches the back and forth sound of the grind, like the joint is rotating eliptically. I've never seen one do that before?
