Annoying clunk

[zpuppy]

Hi all,, just developed what I think is a u-joint problem in the prop shaft , are they available from the normal manufacturers? ( spicer,et al ) Bad clunk shifting out of first on hardish acceleration. It's an auto n/a btw. Also thinking it could be the diff mount or one of the rear half shaft joints. Amazingly Ive never replaced any of the above parts on all 3 z31's ive owned and have no idea ! Noise is coming from the rear, ie no crud in the trans fluid , checked all that stuff ! Cheers all,,any help much appreciated

No U-Joints on a Z31 and I've never known the CV joints on the shafts cause a problem.

Check bushes in the rear cross-member and the differential rear mount...

Does it clunk on acceleration or braking ? The S12 rear end is basially the same and this was the symptoms that I had. You could remove the plate holding the subframe mount on and have a look

Of course What was I thinking with a solid mount dif I'll check bushes first cheers guys !

Bushes on rear sub frame and diff completely shagged, How much Mr F ?? And even more hopefully are they still available After the planets most expensive brake job ive got my fingers crossed ! :lol:

I have sub-frame poly bushes in stock - £39.95 + VAT. They are supplementary to the master kit.
I'll get a rear diff mount price in the morning...
