    Hey Guys

    Recently got myself a 2003 Supercrew 5.4 which was a one owner truck and looks like it was pretty well taken care of with only 120 KMS/60 000 miles.
    Everything seems to be tight and clean but there is a clunk coming from the rear end when accelerating from a stop or decelerating to stop sometimes.
    It isn't overly loud but I do notice the sound. What can be the first thing I can try to see what is causing this?
    Is it a joint that would need some kind of lube?

    That's what I thought but not sure how to test the U Joint and how to know if it is the joint making the noise :shrug:

    Thanks. I'm guessing you're in the mid 20s? :pedobear:
