    I did this and my clunk was quiet for a while, but ultimately it returned. I have done almost all the repairs you have done over time and still have the clunk.

    Have you looked to see if your drive shaft u joints have play in them? The driveshaft splines themselves might be worn out but I doubt that’s it. It’s usually something worn or loose on the front drivetrain between the transfer case and the drive flanges.

    Yeah I had big time clunk when braking and accelerating from stops and was due to failing rear u joint. Got it replaced and is way better. Still need to address other clunks :/

    The clunk is so annoying. I’ve greased the drive shafts, replaced the front cv axels, hub flanges, and the front differential as per my mechanics advice. While it’s improved a bit, I still have the clunk. Had another mechanic look at it and he’s advised me to have the transmission rebuilt 😪

    Ah man, that’s brutal. The all time 4 wheel drive definitely comes at a bit of a maintenance cost on these cars. When do you get the clunk? Accelerating after coasting or another one? Definitely report back if you have any progress. I’d love to know what it is if not the typical suspects.

    @@JungleCatt it still has the clunk accelerating after coasting and when shifting from D to R. The clunk is much less pronounced than before my other repairs but still very noticeable.

    Not planning to at the moment but I’ll keep it in mind. A good place to search for help is the ih8mud.com 100 series forum.
