Axle or Half Shaft of ZF ?

tonyblevinsMember

So I ran into a new problem this weekend. Hope someone has some advice.

I went out for a joyride to enjoy the day when all of a sudden there was a big "CLUNK' when I dropped the clutch. I shifted into 2nd and got a similar "CLUNK". It sounded like a 4WD when you drop it into gear under load.

I immediately pulled over to the side of the road. It sounds like something binding or broken. It does it in 1st, 2nd and Reverse. Probably other gears too but I didn't try it.

Any ideas if its the Axles, Half Shafts or ZF ? I noticed even when the car is turned off and I roll it then you hear the "CLUNK". It seems to be coming only from the driver's side which makes me think/hope its not the ultra-expensive ZF that needs attention.

Any advice/help would be appreciated.

Check your Half shafts, sounds like the U joints,
Move car to a flat area, block the wheels, remove from gear/put in neutral. Grab the half shafts and see if you can find the movement.

Good luck Mark
