A clunk from the rear ?!

Took the G offroad on sunday ,lots of axle twisters in the mud . Had the rear locker in and out all the time <br> The problem is I developed a loud click / clunk from the rear other than the spring reseating what else could it be ?<br> I drove for a hour in 2wd home from the site and it was fine so I do not belive it is the rear dif ( thank goodness )<br> <br> Is there anything else I should check ?<br> <br> Tks Nick

Re: A clunk from the rear ?!

when does it happen?<br> <br> when you are rolling?<br> <br> going over something?<br> <br> When you engage a drive gear, or shift?<br> <br> <br> when you step on the gas hard?<br> <br> Check your u-joints on the driveshaft.<br> Also jack up the rear axle and look for excess play in the diff.<br> <br> -mserpe

Re: A clunk from the rear ?!

The Panhard (spelling) rod bushings were dryed out in my G, and made noises like this whenever I went over uneven ground. They move a great deal as the axles rise and fall, and the body moves side to side. Once I replaced the old bushings, the noise was gone. Have you attempted to create the noise while parked, by pushing up on the body?<br> <br> I agree with mserpe that if could be driveline related issue as well. <br> <br>

It could be as simple as an inproperly closed rear door that needs adjustment.
