You wrote "Rear bushings are all new poly - shocks pretty new."

Would that be the rear trailing arm bushings? There's also a "dog bone" arm (aka Crossbar/ Track Rod) with bushings, plus probably other bushings I don't know about.

Anyway, my first brick ('86) had a major clunk in rear end when putting into gear and start/stop. Fixed with new rear trailing arm bushings. About $200-250 if a shop does it. And not an easy or fun job to do in your driveway, though I've read of a few folks here doing it with some self-made tools used just for that job.
