This will inevitably be caused by shifting of the rear axle on the leaf
springs. When the rubber packing pads detioriate with age the u-bolts get
loose. Usual solution is just to tighten the u-bolts, but do be generous
with the penetrating oil, and be prepared for the possibility that one of
more of the u-bolts may break. If the rubber pads are in really bad
condition then should be changed.

you disconnect from where, and what color was it?
