I'm experiencing a loud clang noise after driving my Jeep for while, but this does not happen all the time. It actually hasn't happened for many months until recently, so this time I took a video while it was happening.


With the Jeep in park, I rocked it forward and back to look for any bad U-joints or excessive transmission movement. U-Joints are solid and the transmission barely moved at all.

I doubted the U-joint and mounts anyways, considering this even happens from going from Park to Reverse, Reverse to Neutral and Drive to Neutral as well as the other directions. Then it also causes my radio to lose power just long long enough to where it restart. It does not happen when shifting from D to the lower gear selections or during gear changes while driving.

Only thing I can think, of would be some sort of actuator that's not functioning correctly. Even then, why would it cause my radio to restart?
