A little clunk

[ddddde]

About a week after I bought my 99' CGC Limited I noticed when I would come to a complete stop I would feel and hear a little clunk noise, sometines right when I stop, sometimes when I just hit the gas to start moving again and sometimes when I am completely stopped with the brakes on, I will hear and feel it a little, it kind of feels like a car behind me just gave me a little bump. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

U joints? maybe..

DCX is right, check the U-Joints.

I was having a very similar problem just a few days ago and it turned out to be the sway bar linkages: very easy fix...you might want to check them too. but don't rule out the U-joints either. i knew my one linkage was bad when I jacked up my jeep and the one of the passenger side in the front completely seperated from the grommet.

Take the rear drive shaft out and put some grease on the splines of the t case output shaft.There is actually a bulletin to replace the rear drive shaft.The new one has a nickel plated slip yoke,but some grease on the splines should take care of it.

Looks like a bunch of us have this same problem.

well i guess we can safely say it is normal wear and tear

It's not normal wear and tear. I can almost guarantee the issue ddddde is having is what xj31 stated - the slip yoke on the rear shaft is binding.
His description of the symptoms is perfect.
There is a updated plated drive shaft, but greasing the splines works just as well.
