Clunking noise in deceleration?

[ibmserf]

I never stop working on this bloody car!  Wondering if anyone might know the source of a clunking noise when I'm stopping.  Also, if I'm driving around in 1st- there's what sounds to be almost a clicking noise.  Feels like it gets worse when I turn.  I'm thinking might be time for new CV- how hard are these to replace?

Cheers,
Brent

Swapping a CV is not that hard. As usual, a lift would make life easier, but go with what you have. For the time and effort involved I would swap out the whole assembly.  In my mind its not worth the effort to do only the inner or the outer.  Buy a reman and replace.  you will need the special star type diver to get the inner cv/trans bolts out.  Forgot the size.  Also, check the motor and trans mount for the clunking noise.  I had that and it was the trans mount.

Take your hood off and go for a drive. Notice how far the engine moves, although it is most likely to be a motor mount.
