Default Clunk.......Clunk...Clunk.Clunk

This just recently started.

When i start off in first, as i start moving, i hear a noise from underneath the car...."Clunk, clunk, clunk", and it clunks more as i accelerate, all the way until my invidia drowns out the sound. When i first heard it, i thought i was dragging something behind my car. What the heck could this noise be? An axel? Driveshaft? The DIFF??

Thanks guys,
Colton

It is most likely the diff or an axle, but I had the same noise and it turned out the exhaust was clanking against the axle bolt so it was a rotational noise. Check your exhaust system first for any signs of wear or a small dent.

I would check the rear nuts on the hub (the large one in the middle), these can come loose sometimes
