Re: [Chrysler300] Driveshaft "clunk" on 1957 300C

["'mgoodknight@xxxxxxxx' mgoodknight@xxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In my experience with quite a few ball and trunion u-joints it is the outer cast iron housing that has always been the problem.  It's not so much the "clunk" as it is a vibration during low speed acceleration and again at highway speeds.  In more advanced wear condition the "clunk" becomes a bigger issue.  I'm presently running my '55 with a 3/16" spacer between the transmission output hub and the u-joint housing.  Having that spacer in place forces the balls to roll through an unworn range on the cylinder surface in the housing and vibration is completely eliminated.  Mine's not worn enough to cause a clunk. I have a new unit to install and that will happen before very long.
