Re: Evo 8 driveshaft clunking

I checked the carrier bearings, those boots/bushings are good and tight. I wiggled every section of the driveshaft and that is where the noise is coming from. There is a small but noticeable amount of play between the two sections in that "cup" where the seal is obviously busted.

Since the day I bought the car it had always made a noise under deceleration, but not always. And sometimes when I would start accelerating then quick get on the clutch and brake. Well, I guess I figured it out.
