Clunk noise in rear end...

[Hairy Eater]

My brother has a 2002 VX and said after he backs off the accelerator then presses it down again (not hard) there's a clunk from in the rear end of the car... holden replaced the rear axcles, took his money, then gave him a letter telling him that the clunk noise is a normal noise in the Commodore.... any comments.....

Could just need an additive change, perhaps gear require an acid wash also. COuld also be a tailshaft issue, just take it to a driveline specialist is the easiest way. 99/100 wont charge you to simply look at it

was there any difference once the rear driveshafts were replaced? my car is getting the clunk when downchangeing or accelerating and releasing, also occasionally a faint vibration (not tailshaft has been balance), have heard that replacing the rear driveshafts on vx can minimise clunk?? how did you go?
