So I recently purchased a 2011 lr4, 115K miles. Has flawless service record runs great etc. About a week after purchase i noticed a clunking noise when making a left turn from a stop. It sounded bad, like real bad to the point where i had to pull over and visibly inspect the underside of the vehicle, not only did i hear it, i felt it. Slowly pulled off and babied it home. It didn't happen again until a few days later, i can say its only happened a handful of times but everytime it happens its cringeworthy. I was told bushings by somebody but i could only describe it to them, they didn't hear the sound themselves (thats not so say I'm replacing all bushings anyways-vibration at highway speed in the steering wheel/high mileage). So thats one thing that i think may be linked to the next problem.
I was recently in stop and go traffic on the interstate and noticed a lag and little bit of a clunk when taking off and stoping. Pretty sure it was 1st-2nd gear shifts only and back from 2nd-1st as i only got up to ab 10 mph. So i would take of from a dead stop, start coasting and then slowly apply more gas -small lag until engaged-clunk when engaging-then acceleration. This is a "replay" of what i experienced. I went into command shift and had no issue whatsoever.
Anyways i am planning on putting money into my lr4 for off-roading/road trips etc. I want to make sure its running 100% before i sink thousands into it. No i have not had it checked, i do plan on it first thing when i get home (i work in alaska)full head to toe inspection. I spoke with a local specialist and he said front drive shaft/ transfer case. If i had to guess the front drive shaft is probably where i would start.
Anyways not trying to solve this as i will be taking it to a specialist when i get home, just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue/repair done. any insight or feedback would be much appreciated.
This is my first post to this forum, but i have been reading a lot of the threads on here and have to say the wealth of knowledge is great. Found a few threads on clunking noises but i don't think its the same issue.
