I have a 1994 ST-205 GT4 and I'm getting a clunking sound from the front driver side only. It happens when I am at a complete stop and starting to drive in 1st gear. I also notice that it clunks from a complete stop when im going into reverse out of my parking spot and again when driving away in 1st. All other other gears are ok. The clunk feels like its coming from below my pedals. I searched forums and so for I replaced what everyone suggested.
super strut Lower suspension arm Fig 8 link Banana bar Uprated crush tube (jsp) Hub top ball joint Track Rod End This is killing my wallet!!!! That is almost all the components except the endlinks and front sway bar bushings. I still get this clunking!!! GRRRRRRRRR.. What else can cause this first gear clunk? Please help its driving me nuts!!!!! Any recommendations? This post has been edited by 83841: Sep 2, 2012 - 5:18 PM |

i know bad mounts can cause the jerk clunk, but it should also vibrate on idle, but then again, HOWEVER, I had one case that didnt vibrate at idle but had a jerk clunk on drive or reverse - exactly as you described, its fine on other gears except forward and reverse. I'd doublecheck your motor mounts, thats one thing not to overlook since its sounds like something ive been through. im guessing front or rear mounts. if you have other symptoms during different scenarios, that will help pinpoint, but im leaning more towards the engine mounts first. you should be able to inspect the mounts to look for cracks, wear, etc., unless they are enclosed.
cant be endlinks or sway bushings cus you just going forward and backward. those things are more noticeable for clunk on bumps and turns. brake pads - hard to say, can be or not be but thats easy to test if you want to cross that out, axles - clicking is very obvious on turns, which is not your case and you can still move, wheel bearings - unlikely and its easy to test for and obvious like humming. GOOD LUCK! This post has been edited by trdproven: Sep 4, 2012 - 6:32 AM -------------------- 94 Celica GT
