theres a mount under the car which bolts your prop shaft to the car with 2 13mm bolts,mine came loose once and the looser they got the more it clonked,bought a new mount and when i got the car in the air i could see it was just loose,gave it a good tightening with some loctite,jobs a gooden! if its from inside your diff,then i aint got a clue,seems unlikely to be that,diff trouble is normally a continuous sound,not an odd knock,Tel
