Strange clunky noise when pull away

[Gouian00]

Hi all! Firstly Merry Christmas!

When I pull away from a stationary position I get a weird clunk or tick noise coming from the middle of the underside of my car.

Does it when I lift the clutch and engage power

Also happens in revere


Thanks

Is it definitely from the middle? Could be brakes sticking?

 

[Gouian00]

Yes from inside the car and out I seems to be coming from the diff area. Someone suggested exhaust rubbers etc but they all seem fine

Thanks!

I've private messaged a couple of members to see what their outcome was

Fingers crossed

Good luck!

It could be the donut on the prop.

Right, could be prop donut. Or the stub shaft going into diff needs grease, or diff mounting bushes perished. Also, could the sound direction be misleading? Consider issues with springs or suspension components.

I remember reading this as mentioned by BCW above, sounds very similar, fortunately it's only a grease job but I seem to recall it being 2 1/2 hrs labour or thereabouts?

there was also a post regarding the procedure so it's worth a search
