when you change directions from forward to reverse it makes a clunk sound and there is a slit delay in movement.
Should shake or shimmy on acceleration, may also squeak and clunk.
It it is like, your hip or elbow or your knee...whatever joint survives the crash.
sound like a bad universal joint, vibration more noticable under load?
Got under the truck and it turned out to be the front differential! Wasn't even squealing in the rear like I thought!! Thanks tho cause i thought the universal joint also but checked it anyway!
it's like hit by a truck
It will probably start out as a rotating squeak then when it gets worse you will hear a loud clink going from drive to reverse or reverse to drive. In it's final stages you will feel a vibration also.
I would check the universal joints in the front and rear drive shafts. Both drive shafts will have a pivot point near the transmission and close to the axle. Try to twist the joint (turn the middle of the shaft one way and on the other end of the joint twist the other way) trying to feel for any slop in the joint. You shouldn't be able to feel any movement. If one is sloppy enough to cause that much vibration it should be pretty obvious and it also would not be safe to drive. If the front joint on the rear shaft somes completely apart, it can stab into the pavement and act like a vaulter's pole lifting the back of the truck right off the ground. Then the rear joint will snap and the whole shaft comes through the box of the truck. Could be tough to control at highway speed.
If you feel like destroying your mount go for it
Yes
Ball-joint needs replaced most likely.
It's a Mew in there. Push the truck asid and find out.
It sounds like a universal joint to me, it's an easy repair and cheap too.
