been noticing a clunk from the front end of the VX recently, mostly on back roads when im doing 40-50, braking hard into a turn and then accelerating through the turn i hear a clunk from the front of the VX

put it up on a lift yesterday and noticed theres about 1/8" of play in both front CV shafts, and probably a full 1" of play in the shaft between the front diff and the transfer case

has anyone else had problems in that area, im still trying to figure out where the problem is actually coming from, the transfer case or the front diff

the shaft between them does not move up and down, but i can turn it by hand quite a bit

the inner cups on the cv shaft move just a bit, the guy looking at it with me didnt seem concerned about that at all, just the play in the front drive shaft
