Question for Dodge Stealth owners?

I have a 1992 Stealth RT /TT that is in mint shape with only 50,000 miles. I have a couple of problems that I (or the dodge dealer) can't diagnose. When I give it's gas in first gear and let it off and push in the clutch, it makes a clunk sound and it seems to lose a bit of forward momentum, to the point of feeling somewhat pushed forward in your seat. It feels like a broken motor mount, but the mounts are fine. The driveshaft U joints are tight and it has a new transfer case (when changed, Dogde dealer said the splines were in good shape. The second problem is the stearing. It doesn't want to stay on center, the slightest bump will cause it to pull to the right or left and when I turn the opposite way ,it will go past center and pull the other way. I just had a four wheel alignment done at Dodge and all suspention parts are tight and in good shape. It's an allwheel drive, allwheel stearing and electronic controlled suspension vehicle. Any help is greatly appreciated.

For the drive-line %26quot;clunk%26quot; have the rear differential checked.



For the steering issues have the ball joints checked. My 92 RT/TT did this until I replaced the bad ball joint.





While the vehicle is a dodge its 12 years since they were sold new you will find most Dodge dealers are just checking the manual and have no first hand experience. Some Mitsubishi dealers are better as its sister car the 3000GT was sold until 1999.

I dont think dodge had all the bugs workded out of the awd and electronic suspension when those 1st came out it may be something that will never be right
I have a dodge stealth it sounds like the clutch isnt staying engaged. Now many places will tell you they know our cars but there full of **** you need to go to mitsubishi for your car anything but dealer wont know. Dodge didnt make the stealth mitsubishi did and they arnt dsm.
i am not sure if this helps at all but i have driven a 90' dodge pickup and it has that same steering problem and they said that is just the way they are, nothing you can do to fix it
