Help! I've got a clunk when stopping and a grinding when going 200 1987

Clunks could be related to worn bushings and/or the u-joints on the driveshaft. There are two u-joints on the drive shaft; one mid-way and the other near the diff. Try to turn the driveshaft with your hand while the car is in park. There shouldn't be any play. Grinding sounds like it is the bearings. Replacing the bushings on the 240 isn't all that hard (well, maybe the trailing arm ones can be PITA), but it requires a lot of time and patience.

Cheers,
Raj
