<b>Subject: </b>[TR] IRS Rear End clunk</p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know this has been covered over the years, but would like some input from<br>
folks. Just redid the rear suspension and driveline for my 67 TR4A IRS.<br>
Installed driveshaft with new u joints, rebuilt diff that was in my TR6 and<br>
did not have clunk in that car, rebuilt original 4A axles with new bearings<br>
seals and u joints, new comp springs, urethane packings, new urethane<br>
bushings on trailing arm, shock link, rebuilt lever shocks. The original<br>
diff mounts/brackets/pins looked good so didn't weld support panels in.<br>
This is a 72k orig mile car that was owned 45 years by previous owner. I am<br>
still getting a noticeable clunk when I let the clutch out from a stop. The<br>
noise is behind me so has to be in that driveline. Any thoughts of next<br>
steps for identifying where it is coming from. <br>
Thanks,<br>
Jim Henningsen<br>
