clunk on accel/decel
I just finished changing my passenger side rear hub, and now I have a clunk on acceleration or deceleration. Everything is tight and the wheel now has zero play, but I can't figure out what is causing this noise. I had to remove quite a bit to get the hub changed, but I made sure to tighten everything back up. Any ideas???

Evan, I am assuming your "clunk" is coming from the area of the recently changed hub.
If so, when you take weight off the wheel by jacking, can you make the same noise occur by rotating the tire back and forth by hand? You may be able to locate the problem area by sound. (????)

Re: clunk on accel/decel (Oldman)
Thanks for the feedback, but I just found the problem. I had disconnected the halfshaft on the wheel side to get enough space to change the hub, and when I put it back in it appernlty slipped a little and wasn't seated exactly right. Reseated it and tighted the bolts back down and everything is good.
Thanks.
Thanks.
