Diagnosing drive train clunk (renamed thread).

[HoosierDaddy]

The clunking is normal. The main culprit is the larger backlash setting that is required for the Torsen differential. Everyone has the clunk, some more than others. A one piece driveshaft reduced the clunking noise for me, but it's not the reason I installed it. Another option that someone did was take his car to a driveline shop and have them adjust the backlash. They were able to reduce the backlash some. It reduced the clunk noticeably, but it's still there.

Thanks. I wasn't sure it was a problem but since am planning mods that would muddy the water if it was, thought better to have them give it a clean bill of health. I'm not going to try to reduce the clunk. If its normal, it doesn't bother me.
