Kendall,
If you havent done it yet, put up the top, close the windows and try to
duplicate the sound again.? Without as much road noise it is sometimes possible
to hear the noise more distinctly.

Subject: [6pack] Clunky rear
Hey List,
I have a sporadic clunk in the rear end of my TR6 somewhere. I inspected the
diff mounts and they don't look cracked anywhere. The stock shocks appear to
mounted solidly. The wheels don't wiggle back and forth at all side to side so
the hubs are at least in reasonable shape. I jacked up the rear and put the
ebrake on and tried loading the drive train up a little bit in forward and
reverse and couldn't reproduce the clunk. I am most likely to get the clunk
when
turning while pulling away from a stop.
This makes me think that it is possibly the splines on the half shafts binding
up. How should those be lubricated?
Any other ideas for clunkiness in the rear? Possibly internal to the
differential?
