Thanks for the info. I am not very familiar with CV joints. Can they be rebuilt or does the entire halfshaft have to be replaced? I will put it up and take a look. Thanks Again. |

Could be a hub bearing, but more likely a CV joint. The Diff loads the axles during cornering.
Put it up and take your hand on the axle (or you can use the tire) and try to induce movement (slack)...in & out and Fr to R...by rotating the tire fr & back slowly if you can see any slack in either joint they are shot.
The hub bearing you just check like any wheel bearing...by rocking the tire..any play..it's shot. |

Greg, it could be the limited slip clutches. Have you added any posi additive? Or better yet change to Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil. |

diff could be shot, or a control arm could be loose? |

My 78' 308 is making a clunking sound when I am making a left turn (fairly sharp turn). It clunk, clunk, clunk. Is this a wheel bearing? I am not very familiar with them so any info on this would be helpful. Thanks. |
