    Default Clunking from under Center console during takeoff

    Just got the car out of storage.
    When I get on it from a stoplight, there is a knocking or clunking that seems to come from right under center console. Like 3-4 knocks, only in first gear, and only does it sometimes. Not sure where to start or if this was the right area. My first though was exhaust, but had new Solo Catback installed last summer.

    Thank You

    Check the carrier bearing on the driveshaft.

    Yep, carrier bearing is common to do this. Just got this resolved on a friends Toyota Highlnder not long ago as well.

    Had this happen on my old euro cars, pretty common

    Thanks everyone. Is there a part number, or the best place to buy the bearing?
