Hey guys....i've noticed that when i make a right turn and apply throttle i get a bit of a clunk in the driveline....oddly it doesn't do it turning left......anyone have any ideas???

 

Ryan,
I had problems with a "dry" U-joint (and "assembly")causing a similar scenario-in fact its time for me to look at mine again.

The TSBs also mention something similar but that is in the AWD or 4WD mode- and that suggests the front tire pressures being possibly suspect (iirc).

 

Its just in 2wd that i've noticed it...

 

It's something political.


































just kidding Ryan

 

Damn it bill.....not at all helpful.... LOL....... So rich...you just replaced the ujoints and the problem went away??

 

And....what brand u-joints is everyone goin with nowadays.....its been years since i've had anything i had to put ujoints in...

 

LOL Bill...now that was funny! We could take that thread for a mile or two...

"And when I turn left...there is this terrible whining noise."

 

I could blame the right for breaking everything it touches.......if i just kept goin left everything would be fine.......LOL

 

See what I mean...? A Mile I tell ya!

 

Sounds like a Ball joint to me.

 

Oh wait... in 2wd?, not a 2 wheel drive... yea, check the u joints

 

yep....its not a ball joint....they're all new....(by the way...if any parts guys tell ya you have to change the whole lower arm.....they're on crack).....the part is listed under a 05....but not an 07.......same lower ball joint....

 

Ok, the ball joints and sway bar end links are new.

Now is the cluck the same as the sound you had before you changed these? If it's different, then I'd say it's not a problem with one of the new ball joints or end links. If it's the same sort of noise, then check those new parts out. You could have something that came loose or was damaged (there really are lots of forces applied to front suspension components) or you installed defective parts.

Rule that stuff out and move to other possible sources.

 

Nope....entirely new sound....its defenitly not a suspension noise.....its in the driveline somewhere.....

 

I had that noise. My trans crapped out shortly afterwards. i found chunks of metal in my trans filter. it sounded like a back brake dragging at first. It quit...now.
