Since I bought #2105 she has had a thunk in the passengers side rear
end and a howl at speeds over 20 mph. The thunk usually only shows up
when you first back her up after sitting for a while and on right hand
turns from a dead stop. I changed out the TAB's and the bushings for
them and that seems to have gotten rid of the howling but the thunk is
still there. While I was under there i checked the motor and tranny
mounts and didn't see anything unusual.
Awhile back i checked the bolts that secure the engine cross brace and
found one was loose a couple turns and the other one was just sitting
in the the hole, not threaded in a bit. Tightening them up quieted the
thunk to a much less obnoxious level and greatly improved the cornering.
I'm starting to think its caused by CV joints? Am I heading in the
right direction? If so, would servicing solve this? Anything else that
could cause this?
