I had previously replaced a front axle on the same '87 GL that I redid the head gaskets on a couple weeks ago(why I joined this awesome board). And since the CV replacement, I've heard this mystic 'clunk' that sounded like a bad CV axle, but it came and went. Kinda was driving me crazy (very short trip) before the head gasket blew.

 

I've been so busy with the engine that I've been able to mostly ignore the clunk. I have the engine running pretty good so today I turned my attention back to that annoying noise, used a buddy's big pipe wrench (yeah, not the best tool) and cranked the SOB one more crown past the cotter-pin hole and suddenly, no more clunk.

 

Thanks for helping me solve a major headache!
