Chad,I too have a diff. concern. Altough, the 6 has all new u
joints,the bracket with gussets appear fine, what I'm experiencing is
more physical, than audible. for instance, after I back out the
diveway, shift from reverse to first, there's more of a thump than a
clunk; the sound is not metallic sounding.I hope this makes since. I
haven't been an LBC owner for long. I have no hope of ever being
proficient in mechanics, however I do harbor the hope of learning what
the SOUNDS mean!
