91 loyale in Syr Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Ive searched past posts about cv joints because I think mine is bad. Most of the posts say you can tell on turns. What if Im getting the clunk-clunk -clunk upon accel going straight? At first it almost sounded like it was coming from right under the shifter but as I was driving it seemed to move more to the right front. It doesnt happen if I put my foot on the clutch and coast(trying to listen)and it also goes away at higher speeds. What Im trying to figure out is could it be an inner joint or something else? Im not too familiar with inner joints, drive shafts, half shafts and such. This is a 4wd 91 loyale. Ive only had experience with fwd saab shafts.Thanks in advance!!!! PS any good suby mechs in central NY?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Does sound like an inner DOJ on your axle shaft assembly. DOJs and CVs usually fail after the boot is torn, grease is lost, and dirt/sand/debri makes its way in. Check for a torn boot; should be easy enough to see as it will leave a funny trail of grease where it tore open and flung grease out as you drove. Might just be on its way out; life is hard for a DOJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
