The front end on my 1986 5ktqcs has started to knock, thunk and clatter. It
especially happens when I travel over slight bumps on the highway. When I
hit 5k rpms in most gears I get this clattering sound from the trans/drive
shaft area. The clattering is fast when it happens, very consistent. I
have to admit that I attempted to drive the car thru 6" of unpacked gravel.
I had to back up and go around. As I drove down the street, the clattering
started. I would hear some rocks drop from underneath the car. I removed
all the rocks that I could find. I still get the noise. The car is lowered
and has a three inch exhaust system mounted in the org. area.
Thanks
