Mystery "Clunk" from back end..

[Purple Pixie]

Recently when reversing over uneven ground (down my drive!) theres been a rather distinctive "clunk". It only happens once, every time but after going about a metre or 2 backwards.. I watched the truck as my husband reversed it and there seemed to be a problem with either the rear axle or rear wheels.. I was on the near side and the rear wheel seemed to momentarily "stick". Any ideas anyone? The mystery problem does not appear to happen on level ground.. The brake light on the dash comes on now and again when driving, could the brakes be sticking or just a dodgy light sensor? We had the truck MOTd last Friday and it passed with only needing a light bulb and new fog light! I had a sexy set of muds fitted to the truck today and the tyre fitter couldnt see anything wrong underneath.. Im worried it could be something terminal.

Check again for clunk on even ground in reverse, it could be the prop UJ needing attention. Rear brake shoes are an easy thing to check.

which ones did you go for? have you any pics of them? I have BFG AT's at the mo, but toying with gettin some decent mud's on?

also, let us know when you've been out getting muddy, and see how they compare to your old ones?!

p.s - sorry i didnt ignore your orig post, just the muds caught my eye!!

Probably the hand brake mechanism sticking.

take the rear drums off and give the brakes a good clean to start with,then check the handbrake.

My truck isnt terminal after all, it just needed to have the brake shoes adjusted and the brake fluid topped up. Phheeeew! I was worried.. but not anymore. Happy little pixie once again. Thank you people for the problem solving advice.
