You nailed it! I greased the shaft (rear first) & test drove around the block... no more clunk! Breaking hard, soft, accelerating, etc. Nice to keep it simple. Was fearing the worst... tranny, breaks & assorted nightmares.

Have a 97 TLC with 117k in great running condition. When I apply the brake and stop the front end seems to have a "clunking" feel, not severe - but noticeable, when comming to a full stop.
This does not happen when accelerating from a full stop. I think that it maybe the calipers/pads but not...
