I've searched "Clunk", "Clunk in Reverse", "Clunk in Gear", "Clunk while Braking", "Clunk in front end" etc, etc, etc... you get it...
:helpme:
(Jeep info in sig)
Problem: Clunk's in Reverse while applying brakes
It will "Clunk" after I apply the brakes ONCE, any braking after that- NO "clunk"
Scenario: XJ Parked in Driveway, Backing out to street
XJ parked in driveway, not running.
Hop in, turn it on, let it warm up.
Apply the brakes, put Trans in Reverse, let off the brakes (rolling backwards)...
Apply the brakes (soft, medium, hard, doesn't matter) *CLUNK* from the front-end.
in a nut-shell: Parked anywhere, level/not level, while in Reverse (only), the first time I apply the brakes, I get a "clunk" from the front-end. Anytime I apply the brakes after that, NO "clunk"... :huh:
I just replaced the U-joint in the front DS that meets the Diff, the others seem OK. Axle U-joints I can't really tell. Diff fluid is full, 2wd/4wd work well... I DUNNO GUYS!
