    Question

    Not sure if applicable.
    But I had a clunk on start / stops when I first got the VX, once I greased the driveline nipples (universal joints and yoke) it when away. Kept up with lubrication every 6 months and never had that noise again.
    I'm sure it was the yoke that was clunking on its movement range without grease.

    I grease mine about every 6 months as well. It goes away after I grease them up, but when Its rolling about 6+ months, it starts coming back, but not as bad as when I first got her.

    you must be yoking.....hahahahahaha

    come on. that's funny.

    Yeah, I greased up the u-joints and tried to grease up the yoke about 3 weeks back. The yoke didnt seem to let any grease in. I really only ever had a minor stop clunk and that is normal from my understanding. My only weird unexplained clunk was the couple times full turn back up clunk. Hasn't happened consistently, I think it was just a normal "noise".

    I am prone to worry about noises and am slowly but surely getting over the little noises that I hear in the VX.

    From everything I keep reading/learning, Isuzu's are noisy.
