rear wheel clunking

      Michael, it could be th= at the axel nut has come loose.  Back off and
retighten to specs in Bentley.  I would advise that you take both r= ear axel
nuts off, clean them and replace them if they are damaged and use anti-s= ieze
before installing them.  the torque spec for these nuts is 360 foot= pounds.  
You should also repack the bearings while you have the nuts off.  

Cheers
