MY TEENERS GONE LAME! II an update, Beginning to doubt cv's are the cause Options

[rascobo]

I previously posted in 'My teeners gone lame' that I had a bad cv joint; Now I'm not so sure. I based it on the fact that I could hear and feel a rotational clunking in the rear, but its not like a bad joint so much as one that has come completely free of the stub axle and is slamming around inside the trailing arm. I checked and all joints were tight and neither axle had any play in them. Then I thought I had blown out the wheel bearing(s) as I forgot to tighten the axle nuts before the 1st test drive. I tightened the axle nuts, raised the rear and found no play in the wheels, so I tried driving it again, but still have the loud clunk and jolt on each rotation of the wheels. Before I start tearing everything down, does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this?[b]

[SLITS]

1.) Rotor hitting caliper?

2.) Broken tooth on pinion or ring gear?

3.) Loose rotor backing plate?

4.) Bad cage in the CV joint?

5.) Broken wheel bearing?

Anyway, if you jack up one side and rotate the wheel do you hear or feel it? Check both sides.

Try to isolate where it's coming from.

Is it only when in gear or does it do it out of gear?

Hey, that's the best I can come up with.
