Another "Clunk"..... This is where you tell me this is normal and not to worry.

Thanks.

Yeah, I wasnt too worried about it. I just was hoping no one would chime in with ...."Oh man! You better fix that now or the whole thing is going to melt down and turn into a honda civic"....

I am pretty sure that it falls under the whole "lash" thing.

Its only when I give it quick and heavy gas which according to the service bulletin "This clearance or free play (also known as lash) can translate into a clunk noise whenever the gear is loaded and unloaded quickly"

The VX hasnt been in any wrecks, only has 52k on it and fits the mold for everything that is "normal" with VXes so I am sure its fine.

Listen to me answer my own questions. Somtimes I just want to be hugged and told everything is okay.

Everything is gonna be okay.

Its kinda interesting.......

With the number of questions and worries about the VX and the driveline lash(search "clunk") I was kinda under the impression it was an Isuzu thing. "Isuzus are loud". However, if you google "driveline lash" anybody with an AWD vehicle tends to complain about it and it all seems to be considered "normal"

Hi guys!
My horse also suffer this clunk noise almost every time i steer 100% to any direction,like when doing a tight "U" turn.
I think it has to do with the steering turning ratio (which in fact is very shot)against the VX curb weight causing the whole linkage to momentairly exceed its capacity

the only thing i would say is to check your steering components because if you have heavy tires it would wear them out quickly....other than that, it doesnt sound major

I will have the Isuzu service guys give it a full "checkup" on Monday.

I am taking it in for an ALL FLUIDS SWAP. Swapping everything for new synthetic.

Can't wait for my synthetic coolant and synthetic windshield washer fluid.

I am assuming by "Steering Components" you mean CV-Joints, tie-rods, etc.

I guess the other thing I neglected to mention is that this doesnt happen everytime I turn left. Its happened a total of 3 times and once was when I was trying to make it happen so I am only guessing at the cause, but it was only when I turned hard left from backing out of a parking space and doing a quick smokie and the bandit back out and leave. I will try leaving my wheel straight and doing that when I leave work and see if I get the same results. If so, I would say standard driveline lash.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Thanks again for the feedback.

X2 mine has always done this...

Mine makes that noise alla time. Mine is definitely from tire rubbing inner wheel well tho so maybe the lash noise is hidden in the other noise.

Mine used to have this issue I noticed when I did a trani fluid and filter the mount bolts were missing.
