I took my lancer out driving after it sat for awhile waiting for a new turbo. One of the things I did to help in my turbo swap process was unbolt the front motor mount. now I'm not sure if this is relevant info or not, i'll let you guys decide.
No the actual problem was that I would drive and be accelerating and after I let off the gas, I would hear this clunk. If i were to push the gas agian, I would get the same noise. Naturally I ignored this cause I just wanted to drive it. the next thing that happened was my cv ripped itself apart at the inner joint. thinking back on it, I can't recall if the bracket that holds the intermediate shaft came off or not, but I know that I only put on bolt in it and it was in the upper hole which had stripped out threads (something I didn't know at the time). This time around, I made sure the bracket was secure and after replacing the cv, I still get the same noise. Now this leads me to think it has something to do with the motor mount. also, when tightening the nut on the axle, the nut went on so far that a cotter pin would have been useless. what did I do wrong and what is this noise?
