So this weekend I installed springs all around, ball joints, control arm bushings, sway bar links, sway bar bushings, front wheel bearings, U joints, motor mounts, tranny mount. I was on a mission to tighten up the entire front end and power train. had the car aligned at Mavis.
No doubt the car is tight, but there is still a profound clunk when I stomp the gas, or release the accelerator after passing on the parkway. I cant determine if the play is in the rear end or the tailshaft of the tranny.
I know the spider gear in the rear can start to leave play and there is also a bearing and bushing in the tranny tailshaft. Other than the clunk, the tranny shifts perfect. No slippage, no hard shift. Its only when I get on the pedal that the clunk runs through the power train and makes a bang in the rear under the passenger seat.
Any suggestions? ideas?
Also, all new parts are Moog. No cheap durlast junk used.
