    Hi there,

    Can anyone help me identify what Clunk is?

    https://youtube.com/shorts/yzNinw3TTFk?feature=share

    Had a buddy hold the break hard to the floor, with the parking break set. While shifting in drive then reverse.

    Similar issue when driving I let off the accelerator to coast, a rubbing/grinding noise appears.
    Disappears when I put little bit of acceleration.
    Noise varies from coming from rear, to front, to middle.

    Spider Gear? U-Joint? Differential? Transmission?

    I'm getting the center support bearing/ busing swapped.

    Sounds like u-joint slack/wear.
    If you’re doing the center/carrier bearing, do the u#joints at the same time.

    I see a lot of movement at the u-joint near the CB.
