Can someone shed some light for me?

I was hearing a clunk in the rear and it turned out to be my rear sway bar end links. One side was loose and the other side the actual end link itself just kees spinning while I try to tighten it, the ball joint inside the rear link spins freely. I used some teflon tape to help with the noise and play while I get a new end link.

While the car was on my jack I decided to also check for wheel bearing play or any axle issues and everything is good. No sloppyness. I then decided to turn the wheels, and they spin freely but when I try to stop them by hand I get a noise (see vid below).

My car drives fine, no humming, no differential issues, no transmission slipping etc. I recently changed the diff fluid with Mobil1 75w90 (I think - but its whatever the weight is recommended). All three (motor, trans) mounts are on their way to me.

Thanks in advance.



Is this a somewhat normal noise?

Does it clunk when the car is cold and you put it in drive after reversing?

No, no issues with clunking that I know of. I start the car in the morning, reverse out of my driveway and then take off with no noises.

I was hearing a clunk but it was my sway bar end link in the rear that needs to be replaced. I already ruled that out with teflon tape.

I think that is just normal play in the differential.

Thanks everyone. Looks like I'm almost done with my suspension noises and issues.
