Rear end noise

[firechief5215]

I have a early 1928 aa, When i let of the clutch i hear a clunk noise that apears to be comming from the rear, I dont hear any grinding noise and the rear is full of grease, any ideas what this may be and is it a hard repair for the average mechanic Thanks you Billy

My guess is a bad u-joint, worn coupling between the drive shaft and worm gear, or excessive play
in the gears.

Could also be a loose axle nut?

Ditto. Years ago a buddy came by with his Coupe for help chasing a "clunk". The noise traveled all the way up to the trans and turned out to be a loose axle nut with the hub clunking for and aft against the keyway.

In this case we held the brake on and partially engaged the clutch and got the clunk but would only do it once. It would then do the same in reverse only once until we reversed direction once again removing the slop in that direction.
