well ive been under the car all daybut good news is i,ve discovered the nasty clunk i,m getting is coming from anywhere between rear prop u/j,the diff or whatever in the rear axle.without the prop connected thers no clunk so i,m not sure whether its the prop or diff side and the props just exagerating the noise (being mostly hollow).question is what can go wrong between these points?cheers

Might be wear on the half halfshafts splines/serations. Could be wear on the A frame ball joint.

Have you tried pumping a load of fresh greese into the prop nipples?
