TR6 rear end "CLUNK"

Hello!
        The TR6 has been running pretty reliably for the week that I
have had it now.  It even passed CA smog!  The tester had to adjust
the carbs a bit but it passed.  He said there appears to be a leak
since it still ran when the mixture screws were turned to full lean.
Sounds like time for a Z-S carb rebuild!  At least the car is legal now.

One other (of many) nagging problem is a "CLUNK" in the rear end upon
acceleration and changing gears.  I suspect it is either in the U-joints
in the rear axle or somewhere in the diff., more likely the former.  Any
hints on checking this out and repairing it?
