When decelerating, I hear a clank/thumping noise around 25 mph. It stops when I accelerate and does not occur during braking. It also happens when driving slowly through a parking lot. It's for sure coming from the rear.
Do you
have the same problem?

U-joints are good. No play in the drive shaft, no play in he yoke, I think it's in the differential but haven't popped the cover yet. It may be the center pin and I can't find one that's sold separately.

Noise problems are something we can't diagnose online so you would have to locate the source and if you require information etc, we would be glad to assist.

Pull differential cover, and inspect ring and pinion gears for chipped, or broken teeth.
