Hi...2000 Ranger/3.0/auto/4x4...I think this is an axle problem, but I'll describe it the best I can and let you experts decide. When I am moving out from a dead stop, there are two felt clunks. If I start out real slow there is only one, but then give it a little more throttle and there is the other clunk. Upon stopping, just as the truck stops, there is also a felt clunk. Shouldn't even call it a clunk, as there is no noise, but I don't know how else to describe it. I disconnected the rear sway bar, and the problem was less noticeable, as it did not transfer to the frame as readily as before.
The truck had nearly 140,000 miles when I got it, but is very clean and was apparently a well cared for commuter. It's over 150,000 now, and the problem doesn't seem to get worse, it's just unnerving. Sure keeps me from accelerating hard from a stop, for fear of breaking something.
I'll await any input you may have.
Thanks
