A frame ball joint, ujs, tranny input gear plenty of things that can cause a clunk

Diffs they where nackered on mine, splines on half shafts, drive flanges it case of cheking drive train and elimination so much on drive train can cause a clunk

I had the same issue, i was chewing up UJ's every 4-6 months and put it down to the front diff ( sounded like the front end )

Replaced the diff with another which looked in good nick, also replaced the transfer box awhile ago, i also checked the halfhafts and all 'seemed' oki but the clunk is still there. I do have play on both propshafts so i'm beginning to think it's a gearbox issue...

You sure it's not the old gearbox-transferbox shaft wear?? That's what mine is and it's getting worse.. Just gotta organise transport up to James!

While having the rear diff cover off my 110 i checked it over as it also suffers a rather bad clunk on taking up and easing off load. I can replicate the noise by moving the crown wheel forward and back with my hand. It would appear wear develops on the splines of the rear half shafts and at a guess would also say the spider gear splines.
combine the play there by the play in the splines out at the hubs it makes for a lot of movement
