Rear diff clunk when pushing Tahoe body side to side

[Dustin Jackson]

I’ve had a bit of a rear end clunk lately and after doing all my usual panhard bar clunk tests like rocking the body back and forth on the side steps or rear bumper I wasn’t able to replicate the clunk.

But by simple pushing on the side of the Tahoe I was able to have my wife replicate the clunk while I climbed under the Tahoe and the clunk seems to be coming from the pumpkin.

What does this mean?

Pretty much standard lateral axle play in the c-clips and side gears.
