Re: "clunk" sound when coming to a stop.

is it when coming to a stop, or at a stop? if it's the latter, that's the famous toyota lurch.

 

Re: "clunk" sound when coming to a stop.

This may sound stupid but its simple I started to get alot of clunking in the rear of the rig and all it turned out to be was my stock bottle jack coming loose and banging around in the rear fender well. I tightened it and all is good. Think simple before going someplace to get it fixed.

Took me a couple months of "wtf is that noise" before i looked in there and noticed all the nice shiny paintless metal from the damn jack bouncing around

Who you kidding, you're always "hitting" the speed bumps at the Galeria

 

Re: "clunk" sound when coming to a stop.

its all about the bottle jack didnt you know? youre not a man without it hahaha

 

Re: "clunk" sound when coming to a stop.

I've considered the extended bottle jack..........

 

Re: "clunk" sound when coming to a stop.

I`m not a mall crawler!! Bite your tongue. I just forgot the damn thing was in there. I have a High Lift Jack and I know how to use it ;D

 

Re: "clunk" sound when coming to a stop.

I carry a hilift, and would use anything else first
I like my XJack a lot, and it keeps the hilift rusting, seems the hilift has no replacement, but it is a dangerous tool. I have had one kick out from under the jeep like 3 years ago. You never can tell about those things.

 

Re: "clunk" sound when coming to a stop.

Mine doesn`t work well either but it works . If it doesn`t go high enough I just put the bottle jack under it and duct tape it to the bottom of the high lift and jack it up that extra foot and a half works every time

 

Re: "clunk" sound when coming to a stop.

I have the clunking issue only under heavy braking. From what the Toyota tech told me, it's the slip-yoke of drive shaft that needs a little lubing. The wheelbase changes slightly when accelerating or braking, so that's why it was only happening after I came to a complete stop and let off the brake.

 

Re: "clunk" sound when coming to a stop.

That's interesting, thanks for this post ffr. I didn't know what it was either. What is weird though is that I have an aftermarket driveshaft, and it's fairly new.

thanks for the info. my 'clunk' always sounds as if I got a mild bumper to bumper from the car behind me. it's quite annoying.
