Clunking ?
I get this clunking sound from the drivetrain when I come to a stop and then again when I start to go again is just the nature of the beast or something wearing out Thanks in advance

It would help if you listed the information on your vehicle (year, model, miles, van or truck, mods, etc).

First thing to do is grease slip joints in the drive shafts, then move to the front suspension if the noise continues. Process of elimination.

Use the blue marine grease that looks like it has little fibers in it. It is water proof and really sticks in there.

Those front sway bar bushings will definitely give you a clunk when starting out or stopping if their worn. Mine had to be replaced at 92,000
