Why does my Jeep clunk when I put it in reverse?

Ok, one more note: the clunking sound is coming from the pinion/rear diff. Jeep got a 2.5” lift a couple weeks ago and now has 33” MTs. Any adjustment to the angle/pinion depth required? I guess I’m still not sure why it only clunks when going into reverse. Oh, and one more! Haha. Noise goes away when I put it in 4wd.

Why does my Jeep make a clunking sound when I Park?

Seems like something is binding and the deflection in the rear pinion can’t be good on the bearing.

What makes a car clunk when backing out of the garage?

The way automatics work the parking brake is a dog that goes up against a gear if it’s on a hill it puts extra pressure on the dog and gear. My LJ does when I park on a hill.

What’s the reverse issue on a Jeep Wrangler?

It seems like it is in gear, but let out the clutch and it pops out. The only way to be sure it is in is to let the clutch out a bit and ” pop” it into gear.
