rear end clunking/exhaust leaks - 80Q

[Roa, Greg]

Sounds good.  If that solves your clunking, let me know.  I've got one at home to replace on my 4kq, just haven't done that yet.  I believe that the mount needs to be pressed into a piece that is bolted to the rear diff, so it's not quite as easy of a job as it could be.

The Parts Connection www.thepartsconnection.com carries those as well.  They usually have better prices than Blau.  Good place to try in the future.  I've not had good luck with GPR in the past.  They screwed me twice on some parts for my Porsche, so I've not gone back.

Let us know what you find out on the exhaust.

Good Luck!

Greg,
So far I know that the clunking is the rear center main diff mount which is
worn out.  I ordered one from Blau - for $18, should be here today.  GPR
didn't carry and said it was "a dealer part".  Don't get me wrong, I think
GPR is great.  I'm going to try the towel over the exhaust trick tonight.

Thanks for your help.
