Shafts are in perfect condition. Greased and no play on u-joints. So it's nothing to do with the official clunk thread.
Symptoms:
1. While coasting, if I let of the accel pedal, it clunks, and when I press the accel again it clunks.
2. Under light acceleration, shifting from 2-3 there's a HEAVY thud. But if under hard acceleration it shifts smoothly.
3. Similarly, if braking to a stop, the shift from 2-1 gives another similar thud, but softer thud than symptom 2.
4. Centre Diff Lock engaged: Completely removes ALL clunks or thuds.
Shifting from D-R , R-D, the rear drive shaft turns less than the front drive shaft. My mechanic mentioned that the rear play looked normal, but the front is turning twice the amount the rear is turning when shifting in between D-R or R-D.
Things that I've done so far:
- Replace front CVs and drive flanges (still has a bit of play but mechanic is saying that that's normal).
- Changed front, rear and transfer case oils. (None of the diffs whine or have any fragments or shavings present during oil change).
- Refurbished A442F installed.
What else can I look at? Is it normal that my front shaft has twice the amount of play compared to my rear?
