Re: [DML] thunking rear end



You're certainly headed in the right direction. You might be able to slide
the half shafts back and forth to simulate the clunking if you've lost a
substantial ammount of grease from your CV boots. The only other
possiblility that I know of is that the bearing in the rear hub could be
shifting.
