Took my 99 2wd in on a hunch, told 'em about a perceived "clunk" in the
steering wheel (and sometimes brake pedal) when stopping or accelerating. The
tech said "get in & show me" as he drove. After just 3 stops, he said it was
the intermediate steering shaft. I asked about ball joints, but he didn't
think so. Told me the reason I feel the clunk in the brakes is because the
steering column & brake pedal assy. are attached to the same sub-frame piece.
Went back to the shop, checked the ball joints & said they're OK. Ordered me
a shaft, never mentioning the front end lowering (1 1/2") and said "see you
next week". He knew of a LOT of Daks with BJ problems, but said they were
almost all 4x4s, usually the int. shaft goes on the 2wds.
Hopefully this will be the demise of my "clunk".
