Rear end clunk spit mk 4

[Smudged 1965]

Hi

Can any one shed' a bit o light on a clunk from my spit rear end when taking up drive or decelleration. Recently replaced diff new, prop new, wire wheels n hubs new, handbrake a bit slack. Think it was there faintly and occasional before work undertaken.

Not had a chance to have a good look yet maybe a pointer in the right direction 

Regards to all

More typically on decelleration, a clunk is due to the U/joints(s) on the halfshaft(s) being worn out.

Tie rod bushes, or mount to the body.

Spring eye bush, though unlikely.

Definitely not the wire wheels? I would triple check them, new or not! (But I have never trusted wire wheels) and are the splined hubs correctly mounted? I think there are special nuts, and possibly studs need shortening? Worth checking.

Also check for play in everything, new or not. And bolts not tight....

Fully support Clive's observation on nuts for the splined hubs, you need to check they are the right taper angle.  Tea shirt owned, but quickly went to Revolutions on Freelander studs.

Wires notorious for clunks,  the spline has to have cleance or you would never get them on or off

Realy whacking the spinner might change it a bit ,  but the spline takes the drive not the cone and spinner
