I have a 76 spit and there is a distinctive loud clunck comming from the
driver's rear suspension.  I have jacked it up and looked at the bushings and
fasteners. They are ok.  I checked the diff flanges and they are tight with
lock nuts.  On a flat road surface at any speed it is fine.  However, go over
a bump and a VERY loud clunk happens.  I looked at the manual and there
appears to be a trunion in the rear suspension.  I am wondering if this may be
the source of the noise.  Any advice would be appreciated.
