Once again I'm confused. How would a driveline clunk present compared to an transaxle/engine clunk? If it is a transaxle clunk, what can I test to prove it?

The dealer adjusted my rear backlash to within spec., but I do have quite a bit of play in my propeller shaft, I can rotate it by hand ~ 1/6 of a turn. Is this normal??

I have new front drive axles (the boots on the old axles were cracking so I replaced them) so I'm assuming that these are still good. However, I didn't check the front differential carrier. I take it the front differential carrier is where the front drive axles insert into the trarnsaxle? How do I check this, just push up and down on the front drive axles from underneath the car?

Thanks for your help.
