Try greasing the grease fitting on the splined slip yoke on the rear drive shaft. Pump the grease in just until the rubber boot starts to swell.

kent-

you referring to me????

i'll have to go look to see if i 'have' a zirk their...usually like to find them all and lube em up once in awhile...never saw one there..i could be blind too..

bush-
i may not have described it right...it is more of a 'slap' and it very well could be something w/ the shafts - i see that as plausible... you'd almost have to ride along w/ me for me to show it to you...what are u doing tomorrow....

I was aiming that as a reply to jageranimal. But it's applicable to anyone with a thunk coming to or pulling away from a stop.

You mentioned it, along with sway-bar bushings, as a rhetorical multiple choice answer. I found your answer to be very confusing, droll, and frankly no more informative than your rant about wiper blades.
