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]

I've got that! In my case it is a bad trailing arm bushing. I jacked up the back end and wedged a screwdriver between the trailing arm and the inner fender near the suspension attachment point. I could pry it way off canter. There is a polished area on the suspension ear showing how far it gets off center. Maybe thats your issue too.
