BC240,
alright I'm going to tell you right now it's probably two things.
1. very common for sub frame bushings to have worn. however, everyone on this forum says that very quickly without asking for your exact symptoms. a lot of things could be causing the clunk.
2. i've personally had a clunk which is my differential. if you have too much backlash, your diff will clunk. meaning there is too much gap between the pinion gear and ring gear.
what you need to do is go under and do some investigation. unbolt your driveshaft from your differential (4 bolts, 14MM). remove the shaft. make sure your e-brake is engaged, and spin the differential flange with your hand. does it clunk when you twist it?? if so, that's most likely the clunk...
if that seems alright, start inspecting your subframe bushings. you need to test with a pry bar or something, get it in there, and start moving htings around with some force. if you have excessive wobble and play, your subrame bushings are gone.
