Lexus question
Discussion
Hi all,
I'm not a mechanic so humour me here, but what would cause the following symptoms?
- 'Clunk' from rear end when putting transmission into D or R, and on some gear shifts.
- Shuddering sensation when accelerating, up until about 40mph.
Car is a 1993 LS400 V8 auto with 80,000mi.
Thanks in advance!

1. Engine mounts, the front two. Get the uprated ones from America, cheaper too. The LS 400 eats suspension parts like most Lexus (Lexi ?).
I put a full front end on mine last year bar the springs. Got MOOG from RockAuto (greasable!) and or FIGS joints (from FIGS himself) for her.
She steers like a 3/4 ton go-cart now, ie it's a massive improvement and no mid corner adjustments need to be made to take up the slack.
2. Might be a slightly worn differential too. If it is don't worry too much unless you're a bit OCD about bumps and knocks.
