I have a 2004 2.3L 4clyl 5-speed that makes a clunk sound most of the time, when I put my foot on the gas. I knew it needed new u-joints, and since it is so cold here, I had my mechanic look at it. He looked at it and the balancer (round thing covering the U-joint that connects the drive shaft to the transmission) was loose and rattling. He took it off the drive shaft, so I could use it for now, but told me I need a whole new drive shaft, which is a lot of $$. Being a college student, I don't have the funds to get one, and was wondering if I just replace the u-joints, would the clunking stop?
