My turn to have a clunk

Post by entirelyturbo »

It's starting to get bad now. Everytime I take off from a stop pretty quickly (usually around 1700rpm), I hear a clunk which sounds like it's coming from the back of the car. I also heard it today when some genius who wasn't watching what he was doing had to brake quickly and I had to as well, leaving it in gear to keep from locking up. It was much louder then.

I'm already pretty convinced it's a diff mount, not only because it's coming from the back, but I don't know what else it could be. Motor mounts are new about a year ago, liquid-filled OEM. Tranny mount is an almost-new WRX piece, guy said it had maybe 300 miles on it, that was about 6 months ago. So everything in the drivetrain is solid.

Thoughts? Comments?

Diff mount.

Engine/tranny mounts wouldn't clunk like that. If they were bad, you'd feel the vibrations in the car.

I really wanna see one of these liquid filled mounts. I'm running Group N mounts, and I didn't keep my old mounts :(. What is the liquid inside there?

It probably doesn't look any different from the outside. In fact, my old ones didn't even look bad. Most people would look at them and say they're fine. But I felt that they were old, and putting the new ones on was a night-and-day difference. They're supposedly filled with a thick gel of some sort. I never tore my old ones apart to find out, family made me throw out all my parts sitting around :evil:
