Thread: Clunking noise in front end 04 gtp!!!!

The clunking noise I have noticed in my 04 GTP is not in the steering Intermediate shaft, but up in the front end. Only 42 K on the car and the thump noise is noticed even going straight down a smooth road. NOT in turns or braking as much. Front end seems tight, but I will also raise it up and check things out. I raised the front end and got the wheel off the ground and started the car and put it in gear and I could hear the thump noise, seemed to be coming from the inner RH CV Joint. I replaced the CV joint and then drove the car down the road. I still hear the thump thump, but not as bad, maybe the other CV joint is bad or some bearing inside the transmission ? no idea at this time??

I had a similar problem in my 94 grand am, which is very similar but a little different. After replacing cv joints struts and bushings it turned out to be a bad tranny mount. The fact that your getting this problem when your shifting into gear makes me wonder if it could be a tranny or motor mount.
