drivetrain noise and vibration

i heard a CLUNK everytime i come to a stop, i read this could be a bolt on the stabilizer bar. but i also get vibrations at low rpms and a rotating, knocking sound (if that makes any since). it sounds like it's definetly coming from beneth the car.

drive shaft universal joints. look on ebay and around here to find one. You have to buy a whole drive shaft or have your rebuilt. Or you can buy a used one for about $30 -$50. thats the rout I went.

It sounds like you need to get it on a lift or jackstands, go under & check the driveshaft, u-joints, & front differential mount.
If it clunks with suspension motion, it may be time for trailing arm bushings.

COULD be U-Joints, but it's probably something else.. unless you have or had vibration at highway speeds..

the main sign of U-joins that are ABOUT to fail is vibration at high speed.
