Subject:Re: Occasional "thunking" sound going uphill...

To get to my house, I have to drive up and over Double Oak Mountain - a
rise of at least 1000 feet - and my van started doing whay yours is
doing. I thought it was a CV going bad. After listening to this for a
while, I went to pull the CV making the offending noise, and I found 3
of the 6 CV bolts loose. This was allowing  the CV to "Work" and was
making the noise. Tightening resolved the issue.
