727 “clunk”

[VillaTA]

When driving at low speeds, occasionally, I get a clunk in the drive train after I let off of the gas. For example, when I pull out of my drive way, accelerate up to say 15-20 mph and come to a stop sign, as I let off the gas, this is when the clunk occurs. I am not sure what it could be. Anyone have the same experience?

Could be a bad Universal joint , or excess lash in the diff , the sound could be coming up thefrom behind the trans drivetrain

That whining I hear when decelerating could mean the same thing too…..

Are you touching the brakes when you hear it? If you backup, brake, go forward, brake, drum brakes tend to clunk.

No clunk when dealing with brakes. Definitely drive train related.

Are you sure the clunk isn't a drunk ford ,chevy or rice burner trying to catch up.

I would jack up the rear end. check wheel to wheel response feel and noise. look at u joint and pinion response. If you have a third hand they could apply resistance and a response while checking.

Any vibration at higher speed? Really sounds like a u-joint. At least eliminate the joints by checking them.

U joint or pinion bearing would be where I'd start looking.
