[TR] a new clunking noise

[wbeech]

No one has suggested the exhaust line, this can produce some very odd noises
if something is only moderately loose.

And Michael Porter suggested a u-joint.  In fact, I have a bad u- joint on
the right side halfshaft.  It's been bad for a long time and will be
replaced soon.  The driveshaft was fine when I put the diff in a year ago.
In any case, this isn't a u-joint sound.  It's too slow and isn't that
distinct clicking sound.  It's as if something were bouncing on a sheet
metal suface.  Like a short-handle screwdriver free to roll across the
trunk.  Except the trunk doesn't have anything like that.  I checked!

But thanks anyway.
