Did you try U-joints on the axles and prop? The splines on my axles
were worn which I could easily feel with the axles off the car and I
believe these were the source of my clunk, now fixed with new axles.
However I did the u-joints at the same time so hard to tell which one.
Truth is, there's wear all the way through the drive train and I had
to go through the whole thing to get it good and tight.

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.
