I'm getting a clunking noise coming from the front end. I" thought" it was from the transfer case as I lost rear wheel drive a few years ago but have been driving it.
( no clunking all this time) I'm also getting burning oil smell from time to time which I thought may be coming from the TC fluid leaking onto the exhaust. (not sure though).
Jacking up the front passenger side and moving the wheel back and forth a little in park (play in wheel) I hear the clunking noise coming from the CV axle where it mounts into tranny....on the drivers side not near the transfer case.
I can feel the clunking on the CV end "knuckle" on the tranny side and feel it on the edge of the tranny where the cv axle is mounted
The clunking doesnt happen at all speeds, I have no shimmy or pulling to one side and the noise seems to stop when I hit the brakes
Sorry for the crud explanation
If it was the transfer case would it transfer the noise and vibrations to the cv axle on the driver side?
The clunking noise almost sounds like a caliper or brake pads slapping around if that helps.....clunk clunk clunk clunk kind of thing
Any ideas?
Its bad enough where I'm not driving the car and need to get it fixed ASAP
