With handbrake on and cdl in neutral, have a look under the car while you get few assistants to rock the car forward and backwards.
If it is flogged out you will see the nose of the diff moving a lot, and probably hear the clunk.
In good condition there should be very little movement
P.S
I'm on my 3rd ball joint @ 202 000 klm's
My defender has a clunk when I change gear to accelerate. Brought it into the stealers a few months ago who sat me down to say it was the propshafts; all 4 would have to be replaced ;) , material cost of $700 a pop and a full days labour for 2 men...I just drove on...mine actually seems to be the universal joints from the front prop, there is a rattle / clunk when I try to turn it by hand.
The rear prop is tight, doesn't seem to be an problem with those joints.bloody stealers...
4 propshafts??? Where were they proposing to put the extra 2? Or is yours some weird model?Quote:

And even if there were 4 it sure as eggs ain't gonna take a full day for 2 guys to change them.
"A" frame or rear drive flanges - my guess.

Prop shafts? Drive shafts? Half shafts? ....
Actually I assume they meant uni joints. But the jokes were too easy...
Well I suppose that strictly speaking, I have 6, it's just that they are distributed between 3 vehicles.Quote:
