It clunks as you are just driving along, or while braking/accelerating?

Open your diff. cover and see if there's anything in there (broken parts).

It happen to me and I have 2 broken teeth off my ring gear...

Does it happen when going straight or only in a turn.  If it is only a turn than it is your spider gears
