Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Today my boxster starting making a clunk noise when decelerating at Speed in 4th and 5th. Somewhat rapid, but not as fast as something like engine knock would be. Only knocks when the throttle is not engaged. Increases in speed with car speed. And I can hear it from the rear passenger side. Any ideas?
CV is my guess.
Would it behave like that only in those circumstances, though? I suppose I'll look at it tomorrow when I get it jacked up. What do I look for? Torn boots?
Slack between acceleration and deceleration? Mine had a lot of slack. Bearings made a wob wob wob sound.
Just got the wheels off a couple days ago. What I found was kind of unnerving. The CV axles are fine, no tearing or anything on the boots. The problem was in the lug bolts. Somehow, only on the right rear wheel, all of them were loose. I know for a fact that I tightened them to spec with all the other wheels a month ago when I had the car up on jacks. So either they're coming undone on their own, or something else.
