Loud clunk in rearend
Couple weeks ago noticed a loud clunk/thud would come from what sounded like the right rear. It would happen once or twice a day and sounded like something hitting HARD. Took a look underneath but couldnt see anything unusual and couldnt find any "slop" with a prybar. Finally jacked it up and pulled the wheel yesterday to get a better look. Diagnosis took about 2 seconds!!!
Needless to say, I went all around tightening/checking/lubing everything...and should have done it earlier as routine maintenance.

1/3 of the problems get diagnosed from underneath, 1/3 from above and 1/4 from the side.
The remaining 1/4 never gets diagnosed...
