"Clunk" noise, when creaping along...
Hey guys, I need some help pinpointing this clunking noise. I've recently noticed this noise on the highway, after I have been driving a while, when I stop and begin driving again, if I am barely pressing he accelerator, she will clunk along. The sound is accompanied by a movement that you can feel as well. I'm beginning to think maybe there is some slippage in the rear differential. Any ideas????
Also I was wondering how much repairs run for this diff, the numbers I got were
D26W0
and
2148
I know its not the U-joints, I just had them replaced along with a new driveshaft.

Hi, make sure the axle u-bolts are tight. Also, you could jack up the rear end and turn the drive shaft to see if you can notice anything abnormal in the rear axle.

That is a very common complaint from people running a posi, what happens is at freeway speeds the posi additive gets thrown out of the clutches with inertia, as soon as you return to slower speeds and make a few turns it should get quiet again. I would recommend changing the gear oil and make sure you put the Ford Posi additive back in. If that does not cure the problem, the unit may be on it's way out.
