Tonight i was driving home and came to a stop, As i started accelerating the liberty made a "CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK" noise, Possible a drive shaft problem? Deciding whether i should give the old girl up or not

[Cam.]

bump

[Soop]

You can't bump after half a freaking hour. Just for that, I'm not going to be constructive.

[Cam.]

Oh, come on. Help would be awesome.

[alexGT]

have you actually looked underneath the car? you could of ran something over...

[Cam.]

Yeah, spent the last hour under the car with dad and everything seems in good condition. I think it's time to get rid of the lib, It's been full of problems.

[B4TT]

could be too much lash in the diff, could be a broken or badly worn mount

[Alex]

it could be a small child you've carelessly have run over. or a leprechaun. srsly. sounds like a worn driveshaft or a stuffed bearing and/or hub.

[Cam.]

Yeah, i was thinking driveshaft. I completely forgot about my tax return sitting in the savings account. Taking it to the family mechanic this week, Thanks for the help guys. I will post when i find the problem. Goodnight!

hahaha


check your lock nut on the drive shaft, its 32mm socket. mine come loose once and it did a very similar thing...


Their supposed to have split pins to stop this though. meh can't hurt

[Cam.]

Problem is all sorted, Thanks to mark and his tool box. and my wallet..... Close the thread?

[Dylan]

What happened ?!

[twinturbosubaru]

Easy answer. Stop car, remove pedestrian wedged underneath Move off and continue down street on a more serious note, sounds like a CV to me ..... Regards Paul

[Cam.]

Haha, at the pedestrian comment. It was my tailshaft, The universal joint just after it joins the transmission had decided to crumble and die, The clunk noise i was getting was the joint locking at an angle causing the shaft to move around, My exhaust was getting knocked and that was the noise. So rather than replacing the little joint on my crusty old tailshaft, i went and bought a second hand one with low km's. Other than that, All my problems the lib are sorted. Time to get some more mods happening! (RS brakes, WRX buckets and some other tasty stuff)

[Scuba-Roo]

put up some pics of the tailshaft if you still have it. maybe add some exhuast gaskets to that list aswell

Yeah, the tailshaft was pretty stuffed.

It had a cool subaru sticker on it, It was a really old logo.

Exhaust gaskets is first on the list, either some second hand headers from Cardiff auto too, or i will get dad to weld my crack up.
