Whoa, I haven't noticed anything clunking in my rear end but I only have 15K on mine. Maybe if I get bored I'll take a look . Now I'm wondering if I should check mine on general principle.

if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

i started with one side clicking... regreased both sides for good measure and now both are clicking. ffs!

you'll know you've got it when feathering the clutch in 1st or reverse results in a metallic click. it's not hard to hear with stereo off or low and windows down.
