Clunking noise in rear end...
Like the title says there's a hard clunking noise coming from the left rear it doesn't do it when I take right turns or mash the gas but when i take left turns and let off the gas it clunks harder like somethings binding...is it the wheel bearing? any help would be great.

I figured it would be the wheel bearing. I'll take a look at it next time Im off..does anyone know if they'll have to be pressed into the 8.25?

same sort of thing was happening to me last month...turned out one of my leaf spring clamps came off. i would only get a clunk when turning left. put a quick clamp on and the clunk is gone. not saying this is your problem though...but just do a visual before you go and buy bearings...

I wouldnt think id be a clamp because it sounds like it happens every time my wheel rotates and the faster im going the louder and more frequent the noise is
