Evo 8 driveshaft clunking

[scheides]

Good luck with the driveshaft. Wonder if there's anyone semi-local that has a used one for sale.

This is more what I was getting at, but yes I do have a spare set of wheels in dire circumstance.

Dizzle, I couldn't quite see the tear in the boot, did you hit something that caused it to go out, or maybe just this cold snap finally taking its toll on some of the lubrication in there.

When you put the new one in, pick up beatrush solid aluminum bushings, you'll be shocked how shitty the stock bushings are when you take it apart. LMK if you need a garage and a hand fixing this; I lent out my heaters to a buddy but could prolly get them back w/o too much trouble.

Wow, hella gay dude.

I have a clunking coming from under my evo when I brake and start coming to a stop... Wonder if this could be the same?

I found this thread on EvolutionM that has been going on for a long time, and they say that Evo's are notorious for "clunking" sounds...

This is facing the rear so I doubt something hit it. Where would you order Beatrush stuff from?

Jeep, 2nd vehicle? Why not get a spare evo as a 2nd vehicle? ;)

201 motorsports, but they're closed now (apparently).

MAP carries Beatrush stuff now, talk to them. They're called 'propeller shaft bushings'

While you're down there, get the beatrush rear diff bushings spacers. They firm up the rear end (but don't make it too firm) and take literally 10 minutes to install after a liberal dose of PB Blaster is applied. I got these as a gift from a good friend last year and even got help installing them, it was a cinch!

I did both of these in the last year and the positive response of the rear end is a big step forward from the stock mushy setup.

I looked for Beatrush products on MAP's website and I cannot find any... Well, they have them but they are not bushings or spacers. All they have is like a motor mount, and some STI stuff... I would like to do the Bushings and the spacers. That sounds like a good, cheap mod!

Call, PM, or email MAP, they can get the full Beatrush product line.

+1, I know they can get it :)

I found used driveshafts for reasonable prices, but they're all many states away. I moved the car last night and it didn't make a sound, so I don't know what to think about it now.

It's a car problem, I don't know if you've ever had one of those before, but it can be there sometimes, and other times you won't notice them.
