Doug,
Just did your suggestion. The clunking stayed about the same, but the
'pitch' of the very light clicks DID change. Also climbed under the car
and gripped the suspected u-joint, and it did have a very 'slight'
movement, so small it's hardly detectable, but it's there, and not on the
other halfshaft, or on the drive shaft.
Sounds to me like it's the u-joint.
