Clunky sound driving up hill.

[Suss]

Hey guys,

Since I got 33's I have noticed when doing a hill start on a steep hill i hear a clunking noise underneath until i get up to speed.

Does anyone know what this is ?

Cheers.

Gearbox mount or a uni joint, grab ur rear uni and shake the shit out of it, ifthere is play it's stuffed.

What he said.

Otherwise t miiiiight be the transfer case knocking issue thingy. When it happens, put your hand on the transfer case lever & see if you can feel it.

The fix for that is here - http://www.4x4xplor.com/T-CaseTSB.html

If your Bump stops are chewed out it could be one of your coils rubbing/ bumping on a bent bump stop shaft. I had that issue so every time I took off and my car lurched the coil would rub.

Mate check out your exhaust.. quite a few ppl on here recently have been discussing it.. I had it when i initially bought my tj. The rear mounting bracket just beside the drive side rear wheel was loose and allowed the exhaust to hit the chassis.

Check control arm bolts.
