Ever since I bought my car, very uncommonly, my car will "clunk". I don't get it, my car just went maybe 3 months without this happening, and now for some reason the car is doing it again. I will drive in the city, or come off the highway, and come to a stoplight. Sit there, doesn't matter if the clutch is floored or if I am in neutral, OCCASIONALLY it feels like from under the car or somewhere underneath the hood a "clunk" sound like.. deep sounding, and it makes a small vibration. One time, I actually came to a complete stop, and it clunked twice, once... then like 5 seconds later, once again, less severe.

I doubt I will get any comments back on this, but I will test the waters. By the way, engine mounts = 10,000 miles old.

 

Its the driveshaft. It is common.

 

Why does it do that though? Can you get an aluminum one, will this rectify the problem?

 

Is it just drivetrain slop?

 

Nope, I know what drivetrain slop feels like, because I feel that one every day. (You know, letting off the gas, then tapping the gas with a little force and the car kinda jerks..)

This noise is when I am NOT moving, and have been sitting for a few seconds and my foot is nowhere near the gas. It sounds and feels like a small weight hit something underneath the car.

 

i get a clunk when i turn on the ac, and a clunk when i put it into gear at a stop sometimes

 

I get clunk when I turn the A/C on too in my car not sure what causes it but car runs good. Did you check your balljoints? They might be going out.

 

its the ballence ring at the front of the frive shaft trust me

 

its happens to me when i first put it into gear. In the chiltons manual it says it could be a warn u joint which could be the case on mine since i have over 100k. but ill have to look into the balencing ring too

 

balancing ring? What exactly is this? How much does it cost? If you buy a new aluminum driveshaft, does it come with a new one?
