Want to help me narrow down my clunking?

Ok ive got this pretty bad clunking from the read of the car, ill describe it best I can...


It clunks when changing direction IE putting the car into reverse, or putting it into 1st when moving backwards.

When I make a left turn it makes the same clunk, but it repeats. clunk clunk clunk faster the speed the faster the clunk.

Can anyone help me narrow it down to driveshaft, halfshafts, or diff mount?

If it clunks with suspension motion - it's the trailing arm grommets.
If it clunks with torque changes - it's the front diff mount .

(I presently have both)

To check the CV's and U-joints, put it in 4th and jack a rear tire. Then rotate the tire back & forth. You will hear and/or feel any excess driveline wear.
