I've noticed that if I take my foot off the accelerator and then accelerate again I get a rather sloppy clunk. I usually drive quite sedately but am wondering if there is too much play somewhere down below? Otherwise car drives fine and even this isn't a problem but it doesn't seem right. Don't expect it did it when new? Does something need tightening up or do i need new bushes somewhere?Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Check the rear A frame ball joint on top of the axle, this will cause a clunk when taking up drive, stick a crowbar onto it and give it a wiggle, bear in mind its not supposed to move too much
