Rear Axle Noise ??? Maybe??
Need some opinion here. I recently noticed a clunk from the rear end. At first I thought it was the hitch receiver boucing in the hitch. When I took it out the noise was still there, then I thought it was a loose box, or spare tire.
It happens when hitting a speed bump at slow speed un equal. one back tire before the other, I now can hear it on the road hitting bumps on one side and not the other. After talking to a friend he graps the rear tire and shakes the truck back and forth (sideways to the truck) fairly hard. You can hear and feel the clunk in the axle or rear end.
So I went to the dealer and asked them, the mechanic said you shouldn't hear that, I showed him by shaking the tire. He thought the same, spare tire, or exhaust. But nope you can feel it in the tire so to speak. So we went over to a new one on the lot, same thing. Go inside to one on a lift same thing. So I guess it is normal.
My question is here, is this normal or normal for this type of axle? I don't know enough here to ask the right question.
It just seems strange to me to have this clunk, mind you maybe it was always there, I don't remember it and maybe I am sensitised to it now?
I just never read anything about this, and so many people have complained about trival things, why not this?
Thanks all,
PS Still love and would never part with my baby.
