What is this noise?

A single "clunk" when stopping (almost always). Same clunk on acceleration, but not all the time.

No other issues; no bouncing, bad tracking, etc.

mine does it too.

I have heard it's slop in the driveshaft. Remove and grease the slide joint and fixes it??

Haven't tried yet so I'm not sure...

sounds a lot like it could be a dry driveshaft, this just came up last month with a lot of good info on lubing it, search back about that and see if that sounds close.
Mine does the same thing, but I'm lazy and it still clunks....
