I've been noticing a loud clunk/clang(?) coming from under the car when applying the gas after coasting (same thing happens if I let off the gas quickly into a coast).
I jacked it up earlier today to replace some aging sway bar endlinks and when I took off the front drivers side wheel the axle bolt came with it. I was initially relieved thinking this was the source of my problem. But then I went under to check things out, I discovered that I can reproduce the clunk by twisting the driveshaft and by spinning the front wheels. Spinning any of them and then abruptly stopping creates the noise.
I had the angle gear resealed about a year and half/30,000 miles ago, replacing the collar sleeve, and everything looked fine there.
Any thoughts?
