- VL Vacationer 3.0
Hi,
I have a 1988 VL Vacationer 3.0L Automatic. It's rarely driven these days but when I jumped in it the other day to take it for a drive I noticed an odd knocking/thumping sound on occasion while accelerating. It definitely sounds as though it's coming from under the car, center or back left. It doesn't seem to always happen and if it does start knocking/thumping, letting off the gas for a moment then accelerating again seemed to stop it, at least for that period of acceleration. I was thinking drive shaft or diff, but I don't seem to lose any or much power and it doesn't happen every time I accelerate. Plan on lifting it tomorrow to take a look, but any thoughts much appreciated!
Cheers
