Clunk in rear end

[Eric GL]

Hey all When taking off from a full stop the rear end on my 99 Tahoe binds up and it clunks. I have replaced the yoke and u joints and put in a locker rear end, still doing it. Driving me crazy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First: Welcome to the forum from Oregon.

I would be checking the leaf spring bushings and mounts and shock mounts.

Also, check the centering pin where the axle mounts at the spring perches.

Did you replace the pinion bearing?

How much play in rear yoke when driveshaft removed? Did the locker pattern well when Dychemed?

The the locker meshed well and the ring and piñon were in good shape. I will remove drive shaft and check for play tha Weekend.
