Motor Mounts. I have the same problem. Ordered the parts but haven't gotten around to installing them yet. Probably do it next week. FYI dealer only parts. -Glen

Clunk!

Well

I too have a clunk or two.

Check the u-joints at the front hubs.

Then check the the rest of the u-joints.

after that check the rear end.

I have a nice,loud clunk coming from my rear end.

inspection has revealed worn spider gear thrust washers.

I'm sure it's from too many peg leg burnies.

any way I'm savin the bucks for a new rear end.

control arm bushings---chris

I had a clunk when braking that was caused by my lower ball joints.

 

[shendren]

the front end place told me all of the ball joints were ok and control arm bushings were ok?

 

[shendren]

looks like i'll try the bearing preload tomorrow. i will also shoot some grease in the joint on the borgeson. i got one of those needle attachments for the grease gun today.



does anyone know where to get one of the spanner wrenches called out for in the bearing preload tsb? i tried napa, carquest, etc. in town. no luck... ...

Shendren try Harbor freight tools I bought a whole spanner wrench set for about $14 prison made of course, China. It worked great all I had to do is file the stubs down on the end of the spanner so they would fit into the holes on the nut.
