Getting a "clunk" sound coming from the front end when ...
I accelerate after shifting from reverse into drive (when backing out of the driveway). I just had a CV joint replaced and thought that would make the sound go away.
Also get the (grinding?)sound when taking a hard turn on a bumpy surface (when going slow...)
Any ideas??
Thanks-

I think I may have that grinding sound too...
does it sound like you car is momentarily vibrating? It is almost like an electric motor or something that comes on and causes the noise/feeling in my car. I don't know how else to describe it. It also happens when I go over speed bumps really slow.

I have the same damn problem with my car.
Dealer replaced CV boots and it took car of it for a couple of weeks. And the damn sound came back.
I've seen in the archives about a solution to this problem, but didn't record the info. Gotta search again
I feel your pain!!!

I'll let you know what the old dealer says, but $10 says "it's normal". That 's their golden answer.
Works on any problem, no matter no small. MOre like "Your car was supposed to suck"

back from dealer, they say it's normal (my car is out of warranty BTW)....
They say it's because of the large speed difference in the rear diff. It sounds logical to me. BTW, I went to buy a RF door trim piece, and the price was $8 less than quoted...I told you I have an excellent dealer :}
