Clunk and shutter

[dentedfender]

I just replaced one of the half shafts on my 84 gl and drove it for a couple days, then romped it alot in the snow the other day and my other half shatf the one i didnt replace started clunking. So i replaced that last night with a new one and the clunking went away. until i drove back up the canyon from town. It seems to do it the most in third gear, and while the car is going on left corners. It doesnt do it on right corners. the sound it makes is like a clunking that can be felt in the car, not hard but enough to feel it. If i pull over and look at it everything is fine, and it drives fine for most of the trip back. It doesnt do it going down hill only up and it sounds like its coming from the front passengers side. Im wondering if i got a bad cv, the wheel bearings are going out, or it has something to do with the suspension. Also i am not running a sway bar if that makes a diffrence. Any help would be great, thanks. Jacob.

check to be sure your castle nuts on the end of your axles have enough torque on them

 

could be bearing or CV - check for slop to be sure, it is not unheard of to get bad reman CV's

 

good luck!

when you had the fron passenger side off did the cone washer or the hub assembly have a dark reddish residue on them? if so try replacing the cone washer and swapping out the hub with one that has less wear and good splines. Then re-torque the axle nut.

ill have to check to still make sure they are tight, i know the other one loosend up on me. If that doesn't help i think ill get a new knuckle and see if that works out better.
