My Bug Eye had a noise like that and it was the Spring shackles, or, to be
more exact, the rubber grommets in the spring shackles.

Glen et al...

FWIW, Mine did this before I replaced the drive shaft and U-joints.
It also does it afterward - no change.  Not saying his problem *isn't*
U-Joints - just that there must be other things that cause that
problem as in the three items Frank mentions...  Spring shackles also
came to my mind and I will be checking them soon.

Cheers!!
