Hi all,

I been trying to find a source of the instantaneous "clunk" that I get
whenever I apply or release the accelerator.  I think I have eliminated most
of the likely suspects. I checked the shocks and shock arms.  I've replaced
the thrust washers in the rear-end.  I checked the U-joints and there is no
free-play (no vibration, either).   The wheel splines are a little worn.
Isn't wheel spline "clunk" somewhat of a delayed type "clunk" (i.e. shortly
after accelerating or braking)?  I did notice when looking at the drive
shaft that there is some free-play between the yoke sleeve and spline shaft.
Never heard anyone discuss a "clunk" from that area.   Any idea's?  Can just
the yoke sleeve be replaced, or must the entire driveshaft be replaced?
