Getting a drive train clunk when turning.

[mudnut]

G'day, all.
Recently when I do a right turn at an intersection (sealed road in 2H), there seams to be some slackness in the drive train which gets taken up as I accelerate. It doesn't do it when making a left turn. Any ideas where to start looking for the cause? The engine and gear box mounts are ok.

You sure its in the drive train? Not just the springs shifting. If the rubber sests are worn or gone you will get clunks when turning.

Check the radius arm bolts. This is what mine did.
Check them asap as its easier to tighten them have to weld on washers

Yep, check all your bushes. And if one is stuffed, replace all in that category as the rest probably aren't too far begind.

(Yes i made that mistake myself)

It feels as if there is a tiny lack of power then a quick boot from behind.

Mine sometimes feels like that from a bit of play in the seat slider

I dealt with all the seat slides within a month of getting the vehicle.

Put handbrake on and get somebody to rock car back and forth, if you see rear trailing arms move around bushes stuffed. I also get similar when coasting downhill with cruise control on, car sort of hunts a bit trying to keep constant speed.

All arm bolts have been checked tight, all the bushes look ok when levered with a crow bar. I will get someone to rock the car and have a look.

The rear diff oil is due to be changed out. Could that cause the diff to grab?

Anything grabbing inside a diff is usually fairly violent.
