Every time unless center diff is locked. I will post a video of the CVs rotating and clunking.

I have checked everything. Scrapped the drive flanges as they were original and wore out. I can visibly watch the CVs rotate at the spindle and hear the simultaneous clunk when shifting from R to D and D to R. I can't rotate the CVs at all when parked, but I can rotate the tire a bit when...

It is important to not that I have not installed the T-case spool yet, so I am driving in factory all time 4WD but with locking hubs instead of flanges. @Dirt J you are Correct. No stress on the front driveline equals no clunk. Mine only clunks in 4 wheel drive with the hubs locked and center...

Not s’bad. I completed the rebuild in January of 2023. I can pull the hubs and take a look at the splines. One banana job.

Correct. However I just replaced those bushings, the UCAs, CVs, hubs instead of flanges, etc. I can watch the CVs move and clunk when shifting from R to D. CVs only have 13K miles, so I’m curious if the play may be in the locking hubs and if that is normal.

Has anyone else experienced movement in the locking hubs / CVs leading to the infamous clunk post-install?

Yup. Lifted. Planned to wheel hard when I was getting laid off in 21 but got another gig two days later, which postponed my dream overland/wheeling trip. Got some decent rock around Fort Worth though. I went with really beefy aftermarket CVs because they wouldn’t get much use with the...

Turns out I’m an idiot. I had my girl cycle from R to D (parking brake and foot on brake - safety first) while I watched the front end. To my surprise the CVs were moving and clunking. Now, I am not sure if this is a result of the CV splines wearing (they looked great at install 13K miles...

Ok I just conducted a little experiment. I unlocked the front hubs (removing any stress/strain from the front drivetrain) and locked the center differential and the clunk disappeared. I suppose it could be the engine mount or something else. I will say, this is a substantially audible clunk...

Thanks for the reply! I’ve visually inspected the motor mounts and they look good. Lower control arm bushings looked good when I rebuilt the front end (SPC UCAs, extended travel shocks, CVs, Aisin locking hubs, diff bushings, bearings, etc.) around 150K miles (truck has 163K on it now)...

Mudders, I have the classic D-N-R and R-N-D clunk that disappears when I lock the center differential. I have replaced the drive flanges, CVs, and front differential bushings. I have also inspected and greased the driveshafts. I will be opening the transfer case to install a part time 4WD...

Bump. $40 OBO. Moving to DFW.

Mudders, I replaced my 2002 Lexus LX470 OEM navigation screen with a CarPlay screen so that I could retrofit an aftermarket amp. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this OEM screen. It works perfectly. $400 OBO

10-4. I tried getting a rusted bolt out of a rivet nut and stripped the nut. However, I agree that a quick shock may be able to brake it out if the nut was epoxied. I may try packing some braided fishing line between the rivet nut and body to keep it from spinning.
