Post Rear End Clunk

I've had the clunk since day one... never took it to the dealer because I knew they wouldnt find it. Sometimes it doesn't clunk at all. My question is this, how do you grease the slip yoke? Hopefully this will fix the problem. Pictures would be great too.

Thanks

I too had the same clunk. I dropped drive-shaft and added some lithium grease inside the spline and bingo all gone now. The spline goes into the tranny. Undo four bolts to drop drive-shaft, but make sure you mark driveshaft so u put it back where it was before. Spray the bolt's the day before.

I have a 97 f-150 Off Road 4X4 with a clunk that's driving me nuts. I have an appointment next week to replace springs and bushings, but I bet it's the spline!!

Dealership mech. told me it was the broken leaf spring clamps that were causing it. I put my own clamps around both springs and nothing changed.

They rebuilt my tranny with 2000 miles left on my 75000 mile extended warranty and it's made this clunk sound since.
