Getting a drive train clunk when turning.

[Sharky1]

G'day, all.
Recently when I do a right turn at an intersection (sealed road in 2H), there seams to be some slackness in the drive train which gets taken up as I accelerate. It doesn't do it when making a left turn. Any ideas where to start looking for the cause? The engine and gear box mounts are ok.

It sounds like you have 2 separate issues. 1stly, your rear diff is worn & has too much backlash, which is why the "slackness" gets taken up when you accellerate. 2ndly the clunk is most likely your panhard rod- either the bushes or where it mounts onto the chassis. Check that the bolt eyelet on the chassis is round & not egg shaped & torque the CRUD outa that bolt. I mean SWING off it!!! Also check your radius arm bushes. They'll cause this as will worn tie rod ends.
