[QUOTE="Taz, post: 7767563, member: 2127"] Amen on the inner CV's being prime suspects in many cases. The tolerances of the forged shells that the tripods slide into were really sloppy. Sloppy enough to produce a clunking sound when driving conditions allow the tripods to rock back and forth inside their shells. It's easy to check if this is the source of your clunking by putting the rear end of the car up with the E-brake off and rocking the tire/wheel assemblies back and forth while lying under the car. You'll hear the clunking sound clearly coming directly from the inner CV boots if they are your culprits. I've read that Ford has tightened up the tolerances of those shells, and new halfshaft assemblies supposedly minimize or eliminate the clunking. And although I've had no firsthand experience with halfshaft replacement as a remedy, I've read accounts by others who say this has stopped their clunking. Anyway, as I said, it's easy enough to check if this is the source of your clunking. [/QUOTE]
