4000q rear clunk

[R Mangas]

   Very common; I've not repaired it on either of my 4kq's but believe it to
be the rubber bushings in the differential mounts.  I've heard some others
suggest it could be tranny mounts as well- actual source may be moot in that
at this age all of them should likely need replaced anyway :)

hth,
Robert
