[QUOTE="Midnight_Cobra, post: 15892821, member: 20927"] I'd check these first. 1) Axle nut torque (it's alot!). If it's loose, get a new nut. 2) Front sub-frame mounting bolts should be 14mm or 9/16" (these are upgrades as the 12mm is factory if I remember right). The 9/16" is bigger at 0.5625" and the 14mm is 0.55" diameter. 3) Bolt that mounts the rear pumpkin cover to the IRS cradle. Mine was clunking because the welded nut from the factory had failed. I just had it re-welded. In my experience I had a worn hub bearing/loose axle nut. It wasn't clunking, it was "swaying" and it felt the rear end was moving laterally. It wasn't clunking, however. I put torque seal (or torque strip), on all my bolts/nuts and it's easier to see if the seal is broken, rather than torque checking by hand. [/QUOTE]
