dltalfa Posted November 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2011 Ok,..I recently purchased a 1972 240Z that has been sitting for several years w/o running. I've got it up and running great, except I have a hard "clunk" at shift points coming from the right rear. Would this most likely just be a bad U-Joint on the axle or could it possibly be the differential mounts?Any help would be appreciated,Danny Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/41258-rear-end-clunk-differential-mounts-or-u-joints/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G 78 Posted November 7, 2011 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2011 In order of likelihood, I'd say front diff mount, mustache bar bushings, driveshaft U joint, and then halfshaft U joint.

grantf Posted November 7, 2011 Share #3 Posted November 7, 2011 in order of ease to fix I would say haft shaft u joints, drive shaft u joints (depending on the year), diff mount (well this actually is really easy tied for second if you use the new mount and dump the strap) then mustache bushings ( I have not done this yet on my car because it looks like a pain in the a$$).
