One clunk per revolution turned out to be a bad wheel bearing on my 108. it was most elusive to diagnose!! Mac My coupe has a rhythmic thump coming from the left rear. I jacked it up and tried to shake the tire, do not feel any play in it. I tried to shake the axle shaft, and it seems firm.

There is a system. You dont want to go pulling axles and stuff from your parts car right away, that is usually the last thing to come off before the crusher. You want to be able to roll it around you know. Luther Gulseth wrote: Ok, part #2 to be robbed from the D. On Thu, 13 Oct 2005

that doesn't mean I can't swap axles. It's not been fully a parts car yet. If a clear title is secured, I may be in the market for a used engine if I can't get this one running. OTOH, the CD runs well, just may need a LR axle, hense the swap No, I'm not buying an axle from you! On
