[DML] axle clunk



List,

it has been awhile since i've heard a rear clunk on my car but it seems to be 
back.  after searching the archives i noticed that a lot of people suggested 
re-lubricating the rear axles with some teflon spray.  however, i had my axles 
apart last year and did the whole boot/grease thing.  when i reach under the 
car, i can move the axles back and forth and they definitely clunk when 
hitting on the tire side.  this might not even be the problem, but what else can i 
do to eliminate the axles as suspect?  it sure sound like they are causing it 
(won't clunk twice in a row on the same turn).

i have also checked my trailing arms for tightness/missing shims and 
tightened down the body bolts on the seat belts, rear sway brace in engine bay, and 
trunk located bolts.  didn't pull the carpet down to do the others or the hard 
pontoon ones.  everything was quite snug anyway.  i also removed everything 
from my trunk including the jack.  

it still clunks.

Andy
