Every corner I take is accompanied by a few knocks that I can feel and hear. Only 2-4 knocks per turn. I have never had had any problems back there and it works fine the rest of the time.

I'm not positive its coming from the rear-end, but it really sounds and feels like it.

Its been like this for two days now. Any thoughts? Is the fluid low maybe?

I'd check your front steering stops. They came with a little plastic cap but those wear off or fall off and your left with metal on metal at full lock when turning. That causes a popping noise when your making sharp turns. Coat them with grease and it'll last for a little while. I usually coat mine during each oil change.

make sure your truck is in neutral...put blocks in front of or behind the front tires so it doesnt roll...jack up your rear end so both tires are off the ground...spin one of the tires...if the other spins the same direction...you gots a LOCKER!!!! lol

if the other tire spins in the opposite direction..ya might have rear end problems..lol

I'll check them both tomorrow. Don't think I have locking, but there is always a chance.

I doubt it's a locker.. He would have noticed a long time ago.
The clunking just started happening over the past two days.

It could be the jack under the rear seat. When it is loose it sounds like it is coming from the rear suspension.

Sometimes the spare loosens up on my truck and starts making a noise....
Ditto on the jack. My landcruiser was doing that...
