Subject:Clunking in the Rear
From:Richard Duvernay
Date:Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:23:08 -0700

Greetings-

I''m a new subscriber to the listserve (2 weeks).� I purchased a 91 westy manual about a month ago
and this weekend took it out for the first real test.� A 600 mile trip in southern/central Oregon to camp along
the umpqua river.� All went great until the last two miles.� As we got off the freeway on the deceleration ramp
�there was a loud clunking in the driver's side rear axle area.� It happens only when foot is off the gas.� Any thoughts
on what this might be or how I should go about diagnosing the problem?� I changed out the shocks last week and the
cv boots all looked intact and in good shape.� Any thoughts before I crawl under and poke around or I take it to a shop
would be appreciated. Thanks.
