I need some help trying to figure out what is going on with my 1991 300ZX



2+2. When I accelerate or decelerate I hear a "clunk" that appears to be coming from towards thr front of the car. Is this common? Any ideas of where to start looking?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Check your drive shaft for slop in the universal joints. Do you hear a clunk when you shift from forward to reverse? That's the only thing I can think off that would clunk in both directions.

can you find an empty car park, and get a mate to run along side while you crawl forward etc? - make sure the bonnet/hood won't fly off the stay (gaffer tape), at least then you might have some indication where to look - often things are much quieter inside.
