could be diff mount. depends on severity. mine was completely cured by new cv and flange. btw it seems common that the driver side cv sees a lot more wear than the passenger side. i saw the driver side wear on my splines and assumed the passenger side was the same. but passenger side was almost unworn while the driver side was close to stripping.I do have driveline clunk that I suspected was the bushing on the diff. mounts since I saw them shift when moving from P to D. Seemed to be where the noise was coming from. I may have to look into new hub flanges
severely worn splines and flange. flange splines look like sand dunes.
see how sharp the splines are?
new axle splines.
new flange.
compare the movement in the axle to the hub. that's worn splines.
now see the difference
you can check this too by videoing the movement. you'll see where the movement is coming from.
