    I'm actually experiencing very frequent clunking in decelerations and also a periodic clank noise from the front driveline or axle noticeable when shifting between drive and reverse when the VX starts moving.

    That Sounds like a bad U joint or loose bolts on a propeller shaft.

    Incidently the only grease point on a VX is the rear U Joint.
    Neither ordinary or extraordinary, just indefatigable.

    Exclamation Spare the rod???

    I got over 130, 000 (mostly hiway) miles and I havent experienced any problems with blown cylinders, or thrown rods......yet!!!

    If the rear 2 cylinders were going too dry all this time, I certainly would have had some serious problem by now.....

    I have noted some of the drive train noises others have noted....

    So far my most major repair has been replacing the rear main seal.....
