Clunk from rear

When I am backing up and press the brake about halfway down there is a loud clunk coming from the rear. If I am stopping going forward sometimes you can hear it softly when the pressing the brake. I check the rear driveshaft and it doesn't move, thus U-joints must be fine. Could it be the drum brakes??? thanks for your help

Could be the drums. Pop them off and clean the hardware up, then readjust the shoes see if that clears the problem.

If it sounds more like it's coming from the back seat area, it's probably the slip yoke. You can pull the driveshaft and then move the rubber boot boot. Tak ethe slip yoke off and clean teh output shaft. Slather on some Silver Antisieze and reassemble the whole thing.

The slip yoke is factory lubed and over time the grease gets nasty and sticks. It will cause a thunk/thump sound when braking or moving from a stop. Also when put in gear.
