i am SO thrilled to see that damn thing running.
as far as clunking, yes i'd be willing to say an axle is bad. when my flex plate was changed, of course the axle was removed to lower the frame, and when the axle was disturbed, it went to chit. so since you disturbed it, i'd be willing to say it's bad. but that's just on personal experience.
best of luck, and please enjoy that damn thing.
Ya replace that axle. THat grease is from your CV Joint.
Yea I will. I'm just hoping that could cause something like this. I've had a CV joints go bad before, but it didn't act like this. When it made the sound and jerked, my scanner read knock, which I thought was strange. I didn't accelerate over 2500 RPM.Quote:

and i replaced one, and it cured half of it. and i had to pass someone on a highway and yeah. that was a pretty bad shake. but i've never experienced the clicking or clunking noise typical of axles.
but then again, my GP has atypical issues when it gets them.
a cv joint wouldn't affect anyting when the car is in park, check for vac leaks if you haven't solved that problem yet
This happened when I took it for a drive. Everything seems fine in park.Quote:

The idle will hunt badly every 10 seconds or so. It will go as high as 900 sometimes, then drop low to like 600, and almost die. My AFR is all over the place. Every few seconds I get what sounds like an exhaust note pulse/pop, which causes my AFR to spike lean and my MAP to shoot up from 18 inHg to like 8 inHg. My fuel trims at idle right now are about +2. Here's the sound I am getting out of my exhaust:

Sounds like a misfire
yeah its a misfire. DO a misfire count and see what cylinders missing
It's not showing any. Weird. But I did notice that cylinder 1's spark plug has cracked porcelain. That's probably it.Quote:

i ran into that problem. ended up spraying wd-40 into where the axle goes into the transmission, and the squeak went away. who knew? sent it back to rock auto lol.
This is way more than a squeak. Lol.Quote:

Yup. Old nut is 36mm, new one is 34mm. I don't like that system.Quote:

^^I hate that...which is why I bought all 4 sockets.
