List,

I have a disturbing noise coming from the rear end of my 78 Spit.  It is not
the notorious clonk from the diff.  It only occurs when I let off of the
accelerator and am coasting.  Nothing when hitting the gas.  It seems to be
coming from the passenger side.  I have pulled of the drive shaft and will
replace the u-joint tomorrow.  The diff has a little play in it but I assume
that is normal and if it was the diff it would happen when accelerating.  Let
me know if you have a suggestion of what to look at/for.  I let you know how
replacing the u-joint goes.

Thanks!

Dave
