Default "The Clunk"

I just realized that I have the clunk noise already. I have a 2005 w/ 11k on it. To be honest I was sort of unaware of it and am not bothered by it at all. It just seemed normal as I had a 2003 Toyota Tundra before the GX and it did the exact same thing. I am pretty much used to the odd clunk/lurch/thump that can happen when braking, rolling to a stop or releasing the brake. As far as I can tell nobody has really had any luck getting it fixed at the dealership so im just going to deal with it and be happy with the 900 other good things about my Lexo. When I push the gas it goes, when I push the brake pedal it stops (and well for a pretty big SUV)

It could be worse...I could be driving a BMW X5 and have to bring it to the shop every two months.

My 2 cents.

Default search

Use the search function. Lots of threads on the clunk. No fix that Im aware of. Dealer tried new driveshaft - grease, etc. No change...

as u use the search feature, you'll find threads that i started about this, most of them i think were started, if not, i was in them.

i found a new fix for myself on it, live with it for about 20k more than wat ur odo says, and it doesn't appear as much. try that rather than going crazy trying to get it fixed by the dealer
