well as trizo said get a new center/part thats screwed as i for sure wouldn't be welding it for a street car...track car maybe cause its very dangerous welding it for street use

but yeh get under there and check out the tail shaft center bearing..the rubber surround may be stuffed, also check the uni's

also are you sure its from the diff?

and lol (how could i forget) theres two upper arms that hold the diff to the car that have 2 rubbers either end...they look like a dog bone shape. these rubbers flog out pretty commonly so i wouldn't be s surprised if they are stuffed or close to it causeing the clunk.
