help with noise

[jodmari]

sounds like bad u joints but there new clunk noise when going from park to drive not bad when going from park to reverse, theres to much slack in the drive shaft. maybe the diff or the train whata think

[JayTA98]

if you get underneath the car safely of course, grab the driveshaft. Do twisting motion and see if there is play. Look at the u joint while you do it. If you have play the u joint are bad.

Check your transmission mount. They tend to go bad too.

what he said....most likely u-joints but tranny mount my be worth a look too.

Not my joint, U-joint ?

Inspect the torque arm as well while you're under there. Better to check EVERYTHING under your car to be safe.

Agree. Sounds like u-joints but, as already posted, be sure to take a look at everything while you are under the car. If nothing appears or feels amiss in the driveline, then the trans mount and torque arm mount are your next most likely culprits. After that, you'll want to look at the suspension bushings on the LCA's.

car has new u joints,motor an train mounts,torque arm busing,theres play in drive shaft u think the diff needs shimming I have to remove drive shaft an see if the play is in the train or diff. anyone know the specs on rearend diff play

[pajeff02]

You measure that with the cover removed and a dial indicator. I think mine had around .011" of lash which is a bit loose.

thanks for the photo ,do you know what the specs are for the back lash and how do you fix it if to loose
