CLUNKY clunk

[SAF_Capri]

Under braking and changing gear my car is making a clunk from underneath, and not a healthy one, got worse since i went over a bump in the road, all seems tight, the only thing i can find is that when i shake the prop it makes a noise at the input end to the gearbox and i can turn it a bit each way and it clunks/the box does, but the box is fine when driving/changine gear,

 

could this be the casue of the noise? regards, shane

Check the prop uj's for play

the centre joint/rubber is tight from what i can feel, but the shaft input in to the gearbox has a fair bit of play

yippee, the clunk is a broken axle mount where the shock bolts to it and it rests on the pads of the spring

 

now got to buy an lsd/atb depending on whats best for fast road, get a new pinion sel, diff cover and oil plug for it while im at it!!
