    4 wheel drive rear axle noises

    I bought my trac used with about 40k miles on it. Ever since i got it, ive noticed that when I'm driving on soft dirt in 4 wheel high I hear a lot of clunking sounds coming from the back axle. It doesn't happen in 2 wheel drive at all. Any ideas on what that might be would be appreciated.
