I dont have the whinning but a clunk when I go over bumps.
I jacked up the left side and I can pull the rear wheel in and out maybe a 1/32 and I hear the clunk so I'm sure the loose rear end is the problem. How do I go about fixing it? New/used rear end? Mine is a 2001 (drum rear brakes)
I am pretty sure there is always inward and outward play with all rear ends.
any amount greater than a 1/4 inch maybe an issue.

or shock replacement?
