Can anyone tell me what that rear end "clunk" sound is that one sometimes hears on 240's when you engage drive or reverse moving out of "park".

I'm not really sure what it is and, frankly, have never given it a lot of thought since it was never an issue on my car. My guesses - rear u-joint, differential or TAB's....

The sound on my car does seem to be getting louder so I'd like to know if I need to do any preventative maintenance (maybe top off diff. lube) or will I inevitably be replacing a u-joint or TAB's. Let's not go down the "it needs a new differential road." :)

Thanks all,
Jim
