Hello just trying to get some feedback, the clunk.
Vt commodore 98 manual t5, engine mounts were worn to the point that my sump was on the cross member "apparently" in roadworthy, mechanic replaced them and since then this clunk has developed, i also kinda span the wheels one night in a heated debate and got more noticeable.
There was no clunk before roadworthy. This clunk is when off acceleration, i can tap the pedal and it will clunk when off accel every time. Since then i have replaced all front and rear sway bar link bushes, new sub-frame mount bushes to try to isolate the issue.. and get it ready for my baby whos due any-day.
I went under the car and found by rotating left and right the drive shaft made that clunk but couldn't determine front or rear,in the cabin sounds defiantly from rear. I was convinced eventually it was the diff, that's where i could hear it most and uni had no play, i assumed it was some wicked backlash or side bearings were going out. Replaced the diff and still the same sound, disappointed but that's mechanics for you.
I noticed while under, the Rubber coupling on the back of the transmission is cracked and needs replacing and would make some sense to make a clunk.
My question is would that rubber coupling make a clunk? or center bearing? Thats all i got left to do on the drive-line and running out of time.
Anything appreciated.
