Rear end clunk?

toro1966 · 06-22-2018, 06:00 PM

Hey guys - I have a rear end clunk when going over uneven surfaces. I am assuming it's the rear sway bar based on my searches here. I was trying to find the solution without having to repost what I am sure has been posted bunches of time. That said, I can't seem to find the TSB (if one exists) or the torque specs for the bolts. I found the FRONT TSB which includes the torque specs(74/89 ftlbs), but not the rear - are they the same?

I hear that at times while going over bumps and also while shifting from a stop to 1st gear. Just like you, I have a 2017 Fifty...I haven't quite concluded what the noise is, but I'm concerned that it's the bolts in the rear diff. I'm going to mention this to the Service Dept on my next oil change which will be in a couple of weeks. If I find out 1st, I'll be sure to let you know.

Many thanks! I appreciate it! Think I am going to go in next week as well and have it looked like. I still have a wind noise they haven't fixed the last two times I have had it in....So that's why I am trying to figure it out myself lol.

Just to be on the safe side....if you can get under the car and check the bolts on the axle shafts...Your clunk may not be related to this but check out this thread and worth a look underneath your car.
