Subject:Rear End Clunk
From:Kevin Gilbert

Volks,

I hear and feel an occasional rear end clunk (sounds like passenger side), usually when in a turn -either direction. It is an 84 Westfalia w/ AT, not driven much for three years.

Several years ago I replaced CV joints, purchasing 2 "new" half shafts, thinking I was fixing the problem. No change, and the List suggested German brand joints over the Asian CVs, so I swallowed hard, and replaced Chinese with German Lobro. Same problem.

I'm thinking it's not CV joints. What's left back there? Wheel bearings and suspension? Pick one. After all, it's not your money. :)

Thanks!

Kevin
