			slight clunk sound in rear   
		
		
		It's only when upshifting and starting off the line.  I never had this noise until after I had to have my gears replaced and had a Auburn put in.  My driveshaft is a aluminum FMS that's only 3 months old.  The clunk only comes after 10-15 mins driving.  Yesterday I jacked the rear up and put it on jacks and whiggled the driveshaft and spun it and there is no noise.  I even ran the car on the stands and shifted gears and no noise.   I also checked the upper control arm bolts and there tight,so is my exhaust hangers.  The lower arms are only 2 months old and tight.  When turning the wheels the driveshaft it does make a slight clunk when I first turn it and the there is a little play in the rear,but it turns freely and smooth.  The gears themselves are quiet. The longer I drive the more advious the noise is.  My rear brakes however do make clunks when braking in reverse.
