Name That Sound

[97redsport]

Ok new owner here yes a NEWB infact to this make and model vehicle. I got it yesterday and have found a few things that I can tell are wrong. When I brake hard sometimes there’s a slight clunk in the front drive train possible hub, transaxle, or u-joints. Then after the hard brake and leavening from a stop there is a clunk again in the same area. Repairing these for my wont is to hard for me. Just wanted to get an opinion from you all. Then I was going to have it looked at by some buddy from a local car repair depot.

Thanks for looking. Jason

sounds like ball joints

I would check the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts, on inner side of spindle also--they tend to work loose

Thanks guys, I knew you would be there for me. I will check them out.

Also I forgot about this one, I think I found it and it’s gone. Again when I brake hard it felt like the rear end fells like it was twisting. I will have to monitor it, cause I had a 3 ton jack in the back so it could have been that.
