Was your bearing torn ?. I have a new one but it's impossible to tell if it's any stiffer without fitting it.That looks fine to me. First thing I think of is trans mount under load, but the last time I had that problem it was the center bearing.
I don't think so. Next plan is to secure my borescope camera underneath the car and move back and forward hopefully capturing images of what is actually knocking. Worth a try anyway.Yes, it was torn and no doubt the problem. I bought a 2002 once that had a center bearing with virtually no rubber left. It knocked when I took off and above 40mph so I took off really slowly and drove under 40mph and made it 25 miles home. LOL
Are there any witness marks anywhere that might give a clue about where it's hitting?
I was going to suggest something like this but didn't think you'd have anything to do it with. Awesome.I don't think so. Next plan is to secure my borescope camera underneath the car and move back and forward hopefully capturing images of what is actually knocking. Worth a try anyway.
