Bob,

Luckily, I don't have any experiences to comment about what a bad drive
shaft sounds like (better known as a CV joint in DeLorean-iese). But I can
suggest checking for brake pad rattle since this can cause a clunking
noise -- although not very loud. Lift the car so that the rear wheels are
hanging and then spin the wheels. If your brake rotor is warped enough and
you don't have anti-rattle springs, then the warped spot will tend to pick
up & drop the brake pads making a rattling noise. While you have the car
up, check the four CV boots for tears.
