Buck531 Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Here's my issue. Going in reverse. Tap the gas to get going.. CLUNK from the front end. I had this problem last year with my DP hitting the firewall, that was resolved and this sound/feel isn't the same. I'm thinking trans. motor mount? I dunno. The tie rods are ok as I can't move the wheel side to side when it's jacked up. The right outter rod was replaced last year. I did have a noise like this when I had my poly eurethane sway bar bushings on the car, but I took them off and put stockers on thinking it would solve the problem. Nope. Still there. Btw, it ONLY does it in reverse. Nothing else. I found out if I put the car in reverse, brake torque it enough, it'll do it. It's driving me freakin' nuts trying to figure out what this is. Any clues? Anything else to check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
