List members,

Maybe there really is such a as thing as not driving a vehicle enough that
it causes problems.....

Thank you for the responses on the gas tank vent hoses.  I'll get those
replaced asap.  Now for the next trick,

Driving home last weekend from camping - a loud clunk started up in the rear
and is somehow associated with the turning of the rear passenger wheel or
the axel.  The noise is not speed related.  It will often clunk three or
four times going around a corner, then stop.  You can sometimes make it
clunk once by goosing the accelerator (while moving, it won't do it when
stopped).  It sounds "free" to clunk away unfettered by moving parts, but
only does it when moving.  It's not in the engine.  It does appear to be
associated with applying the brakes, other thatn doing so sometimes makes it
stop. My wife thinks it sounds like something big is about to work its way
loose and fall off.  It can get quite loud, but also be quiet enough to just
hear above the wind and engine.  It clunks at different rates. This clunking
has no detectible effect on the maneuverability of the vehicle.

Before I take it down to Jeff Hogue in Blanford, does anyone have any ideas?

Oh yeah, I checked all the camping gear, and none of that is free to scull
about, and there aren't any stray empties back there either.
