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

Probably is CV joints.The way most diagnosis of this is made is by driving
very slowly in a tight circle.Listen for clicking.Then drive slowly in a
cirlce in the opposite direction and listen.Clunking is reserved for real
bad CV joints.Make sure the joints are tight,both inboard and outboard
joints.Most likely need a hex socoket to do this.Loose CV joints can be
dangerous.
