TR4A Clunk - What's the "go to"?
Hi all,
I have some clunks in my TR4A. It's when I'm starting off. There are several clunks in a row, and at cruising speed, it does not happen. Sometimes if I'm going really slow in second gear the car starts to jerk back and forth slightly, too.
What I do NOT think it is:
-Differential mounts - checked them recently, everything was recently replaced, everything was strong in that section of the car.
-Rear transmission mount - replaced under my watch
-Wire wheel splines - just checked and greased etc.
Are there any "go to's" with this car? (example, when I had my MGB, I had to replace thrust washers in the diff...it's a very common problem and there is a kit for like $27 to fix it).
On a lift, supporting the frame, getting under there and twisting and turning things did not yield any results.
My idea was to support the rear swing-arms instead to simulate weight being on the car - maybe the problem will be more evident in this scenario.
I am planning on checking U-Joints - there are 6, correct? Also, slip joints. Obviously I'll "double check" the diff mounts because I'm in there but I really do not suspect that to be the issue as I've only driven the car 50 mi since I checked them.
Another noteworthy thing is that I completely rebuilt the front suspension. Although, I do not suspect this to be an issue in the front of the car, I just wanted to note it.
Thanks in advance!!!
