    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

    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...

    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.

    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.

    You reckon I should try and install a few more?
