I have a "clunk" that I can hear and feel in the front of my H2. It occurs sometimes when taking off from a stop as you step on the gas and it starts to go. I can feel it, and it sort of feels like it is under my feet.
Last week I was coming to a stop behind a car that suddenly braked, so I was stopping hard. In addition to braking I shifted the tranny down to help. When it shifted down into first gear I felt the clunk happen. Then when I took off again it clunked. Kind of like something shifting back and forth from the torque. My though was maybe a front diff mount.
I can also make it do it sometimes by stepping on the brake, put it in drive, and give it a little gas. Then put it in reverse and do the same.
Today I climbed under and had my wife get in and do the pwer braking while I looked at thiings. Once it was explained to me that I needed to be a little more patient in explaining what it was I wanted from someone who had never done this before, :emb: I could see the diff rocking forward and back, with movement in the rear diff mount.
I am not sure what the mount should look like, but it does look to me like it has too much play. Here are some pics. These are all in the "at rest" position.
Looking forward at the rear diff mount:
Close up of the bottom of the mount. Note there is a good 1/4" of space between the plate and the rubber:
Here is a close up of the top:
Under torque in drive the whole thing moves up almost an inch. That seems pretty exsessive to me. Anyone had issues with this before? Anyone else's have this much slop? It is going in soon to have the front diff resealed under warranty, so if this mount is bad I'll have it done also, since they will have it all apart anyway. Just trying to gain some knowledge before I take it in.
