You would think but it only pops when I turn the yoke fast. Once it is moving it turns smooth aand the wheels turn as they shouuld.

Hi guys well, i got a chance to look at the mountaineer today. I bought the needle point grease attachment and greased the front shaft up. Before i went to install shaft i wanted to test the front diff out like suggested. While holding one wheel i was able to spin the yoke and the other wheel...

I am having the same clunking under power. I pulled the front shaft and it drives like a dream. I parked on an incline to see if it would drift in park and it does. My drive shaft looks ok but hard to tell just by hand force. I am going to pack my driveshaft cv joint with greese and re-install...

I will cut it open and see how things look, and grease it up, if it quits it down i think we have the answer. Here is a short video i shot of the shaft, this of course before i saw your later post talking about opening it up. thanks Dave

Thanks, I appreciate. Your time and help. I did have four new tires and rims installed on Thursday, still had bad clunk. (Damage was already done) I will more closely inspect shaft and take some pics. ( do I need to use a hosting servece for pics?) Also being the clunk got way worse in the...

I have been doing so much other work to it that this was the last and bigggest. ( at least that I know of) I have not checked the tc case fluid yet, is that the plug facing the rear shaft? When it clunks it is very hard, can see the front shake. I have had it for two weeks, most in garage...

Had four new tires installed and still the same. Removed front driveshaft and truck drives like a dream, no clunk, no humming when on and off gas at highway speeds. Front shaft looks to be ok, all move free with no slop Parked it on an incline and put bricks behind rear tires about a foot...

I worked both jobs today so i didn't have a chance to pull the shaft but i did look at it. I repaired the flat tire and took it for a little spin. It was better than the other night but the clunk was still there under heavier throttle. I will be looking at getting all new tires before i drive it...

Okay. So unlike the rear drive shaft there are bolts that need too come off the transfer case side? Since I do not have a lift, chock the rear wheels to avoid the drift with me under it? Not sure if you can answer my other question regarding the rear drive shaft? Between the transfer case...

Thanks for the input. All the tires were the same size but one on the front was a different brand with simular tread. After putting the spare with more aggresive tread the clunking was out of control. I only drove it about a block and a half never above 25 to get to my house. If I remove the...

What type of noise does it make when a tire is different? Is it a clunk noise? When I got the truck it had one different tire on the front. so I wonder if the vc was damaged from having one different tire on it. How can it tell, if all the tires are the same size with similar tread?

I have searched the forum for the dreaded clunk but I have a question that I didn't see an answer to. 99 mercury mountaineer v8 AWD 200k Bought this truck a few weeks ago and have done the following. Front cv axles Front wheel hubs Front and rear shocks Sway bar links. This is the first time...

Hi guys. What a great site. I have never really worked on my cars but do wrench on RC cars and helicopters. Not the same scale but very similar in the complexity. I bought a 99 mercury mountaineer that needs some work and with the help of this site things are going well. I am in the...
