About 10 months ago I put on TEIN coilovers. From the day I did it there has been a weird clunking noise coming from the rear. About three months ago I checked the rear struts and found that they were leaking and decided to replace them. I just got new MR's and put them in and the sound is still there. Except now its more prominent and louder. The noise happens whenever I'm driving at any speed, when the wheels hit a bump in the road. Also I noticed that whenever it's really wet outside and the sound happens the backend tends to slide around. Checking around a friend of mine noticed that both axels slide in and out 1-2 inches from the hub. They always go back, with quite a bit of force none the less, and make the same noise. I think that this is it, but I'm not sure.

Nothing else has been done on the rear end except for the coilovers.

She's a a 92 H/B. She's got 194,000 on the clock and is pulling strong and i'm getting iritated with the sound and need to fix it bad. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried searching and have come up with weird noises from blown struts, RUCA's, differential, but not axels. This is not a noise coming from the center of the rear but from the wheel section.
