Hi,

I posted a couple of months ago about feeling a small "clunk" whenever I accelerate my 96 Mark VIII on the freeway. Only happens when I release the gas peddle then step on it. I was told by a couple of members to have my u-joints and rear carrier bushings checked. My local mechanic said they look fine. He thinks my transmission may have been rebuilt, that this is probably the source of the problem. Does this sound like a possibility? It seems to shift perfectly. Should I be concerned or do you think I should just put up with it?

Thanks for all your help.

sounds like U- joints/carrier bearing to me. I suggest a 93 one piece driveshaft thats what I did. Problem solved. :)

U joints and getting the drive shaft balanced resolved my clunk on my 98 LSC.

Current Stable:
00 Stang vert - side pipes, super chip, CAI
98 LSC
96 Haulmark enclosed race trailer (going to eBay soon)
94 E-150 5.8l
65 T-Bird Coupe
65 T-Bird vert
64 Austin Healy 3000

Gone but not forgott'n:
95 Gen I Base
92 Merc Grand Marq -Police package...sigh
90 TC
85 T-Tbird Fila

Yep, Id check the U-Joints first!

Thanks a lot you guys. I'll have the u-joints checked again by someone else and let you know what they found.
