'98 explorer xlt
ok i have a 98 XLT and for about the past year ive had a loud thunk come from under the truck i cant tell for where though , i thought it was the tranny but since it still shifts ok ( I guess) and the noise is at any speed not like just in a gear range, It does seem to clunk more when im going up hill.
and will do it hard when im on the gas but still kinda thunk softer when i coast. I hope some one can help before im stuck on the hiway :roll:
 






I'm going to take a guess, but without hearing it myself, to me it sounds like maybe a U-Joint is going out? They can usually get some play in them and clunk here and there before failing.
 






grease the slip joint...
