It wasn't the propshaft. It was one back brake.
So I got all 4 wheels off the ground, on stands, and crawled under with a torch. Plenty of clearance at the handbrake. No marks at all on the propshaft, U/J's, or the nuts and bolts.
Eventually figured it was in the o/s rear hub/brake.
Off with the wheel, off with the brake drum, and there it was. The pivot for the brake shoes had unscrewed a bit and the backs of the wheel-studs were just touching the pivot. Clunk clunk clunk.
I guess the left steering must rock the wheel and hub a tiny bit, enough to touch and clunk.
Fixed now, but how do I stop these pivots from unscrewing? One at the front unscrewed a few months back!
Anyway thanks for listening.
