Could be lots of things. Mine clunks too, havent tracked it down yet. Check to see if the sway bar is hitting the shocks, thats a common problem. Could be ball joints, control arm bushings, body mounts. Look at the front body mounts, should be a 2mm gap between the mount and the UPPER rubber peice. If not then #2 and #3 body mounts need to be shimmed. I have a TSB about that if you need it. Getting ready to order shims for mine.< src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" ="text/"></>< ="text/">_uacct = "UA-939292-44";

Thanks I need to collect all my reciepts so when something is wrong I can replace it. I will check all that. The sway bar is out of the way its probably a ball joint.


thanks again

not sway bar, it has to be the ball joints. they will not break though. I got them off ebay for $40 instead of almost $300 at auto part store.

Lots of 3.2l 5speeds around. I think they sold about the same number of 5 speeds as autos.Thats one of the reasons I bought this one, I wont buy an automatic, dont like them.

I've seen some '98 5 speeds. Maybe they arent very common in your area.

Hopefully you have a tranny cooler on yours and keep up with fluid changes with pulling the boat.
