My TR6 does this occasionally. I witnessed a halfshaft "hop" when it
happened so I attributed it to the splines sticking. Old grease may be the
culprit.

I've replaced almost everything in the rear suspension of my 1973 TR6
(trailing arm bushings, springs and caps, half-shafts, U-joints, rear hubs,
lever arm shocks, shock links and bushings) and I still have a strange,
frustrating "grunch" sound coming from my rear suspension when the car is
stationary and I push the rear of the car up and down.
Does this mean you have "NEW" half shafts? Or were they serviced?
Separating the two halves, cleaning out the old grease (and accumulated crud)
and
repacking with fresh grease may help.
