1999 GMC Yukon review from North America
"Great SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hey guys, I have a 1999 GMC yukon with the same "clunk" noise when I brake and it also does it when I released the brakes and I get ready to take off after a stop. Well, it used to do it I should say. I just got my SUV back from the mechanic and they told me it was te "Drive Shaft Slip YOKE" which enters the tail of the transmission. I have had this problem for quite a long time, but I finally decided to take it in to get it fix. I purchased the Yoke from the dealer at a cost of $150. The mechanic recommended to also change the U-Joint that attaches to the yoke, since it had to be taken out anyway. The U-joint cost about $25.00 plus $35.00 labor. Over all I end up paying $200.00, but let me tell you it was well worth the effort and the money. The truck drives like a dream; best of all the "clunk" noise is gone. Good luck fixing yours. I am sure it will take care of the problem. P.S. The dealer price list for the yoke is $221.00, but you can ask for a better price; they should be able to sell it to you cheaper. They did it for me, I am sure they will do it for you too.
