how bad do driveshaft u joints go bad? my car made a slight clunk for past few weeks....today it got bad. after thinking it was the tranny mount and replacing it with a nice energy suspension one...it still makes the noise.

i talked to my stepdad (former mechanic) and he thinks its either the driveshaft u joint or my rear is done (posi or ring and pinon are out). the sound doesnt really sound like its coming from the rear...more the middle of the car/back of trans.

from a stop in first gear it really wont make any noise unless you get on it, and if you let off it will clunk. and if your cruising on the highway like in 5th or 6th, and have your foot off the gas and press the clutch in, it will make noise when it re-engages. and when you hit the brakes to come to a stop or in reverse it will clunk a little
