Default Re: M22 clacking sound in reverse gear

Jim,

Well, you really did it!!! You jinxed MY car!

I got in it yesterday to go to the store, and when I backed out of the garage... "Clunk clunk"!!

I put the car on jack stands and removed the drive shaft. The rear U-joint literally fell apart in my hands! One side had deteriorated so bad that the needle bearings were DUST!

After $14 bones at the local auto parts store, and about an hours worth of work, I was back on the road again.

Do me a favor, if your engine falls out, keep it to yourself!!!
