Hey List,

I have a sporadic clunk in the rear end of my TR6 somewhere. I inspected the 
diff mounts and they don't look cracked anywhere. The stock shocks appear to 
mounted solidly. The wheels don't wiggle back and forth at all side to side so 
the hubs are at least in reasonable shape. I jacked up the rear and put the 
ebrake on and tried loading the drive train up a little bit in forward and 
reverse and couldn't reproduce the clunk. I am most likely to get the clunk 
when turning while pulling away from a stop. 

This makes me think that it is possibly the splines on the half shafts binding 
up. How should those be lubricated? 


Any other ideas for clunkiness in the rear? Possibly internal to the 
differential?
