Is this sound: driveshaft clunk, U-joint, or other?
Turn up the volume and play the clip below:
Getting a clunk/ping when starting out under slight load, is this normal for a GX with 175k? In this recording, I was facing downhill on a driveway and drove forward with a slight clunk/ping, then shifted into reverse and backed up the slight hill with a louder clunk/ping. Sound seems to be coming from the front. 2005 GX470, 175k, stock suspension. I just greased all the zerks on both driveshafts, and noticed that one u-joint cup on the rear of the front driveshaft didn’t seem to have grease coming out. Thanks.
