Bad u joint?
After almost a year of my 94 being down with opti problems shes up and running well. Issue im having is something in the rear. Both my rear tires were flat after a year sitting, filled them with air but as i drove i immediately heard a clunking noise in the rear. It was consistant with speed so the clunks happened faster on acceleration and slower as i stopped. Doesnt sound like a screech or whine but a distinct clunk. Just did a total brake job before the car went down but it drove fine for weeks until the opti crapped out. At highway speeds the vibration was pretty intense and felt rickety. Does this sound like a bad u joint?
