Got the carb rebuild done... Runs again, but part of the mechanical rebuild of my coach was new CV Boots, turning of the rotors, replacing the calipers and pads... When we first moved it we heard a loud clunk twice? We moved it about 100 feet total... So now I'm nervous!! I don't know if there is something we could have done wrong with regard to the "CV joint phasing I kind of remember reading about?
Any Ideas?
Thanks,

There is no phasing of the drive axle U-joints. The inner joints are sliding tri-pots while the outers are truly full CV's. Now the steering shaft joint is a different story.

Was it single clunk? If so could it have been the brake pads stuck against the rotors? The happens some times when parked especially in humid or below freezing weather. The rotors develop surface rust and pads stick. The first few applications of the brakes will remove the rust and all is well.
