    When you say...
    the nut that holds the u joint holder was loose so I tightened it
    do you mean the big nut that holds the yoke on the pinion shaft coming out of the differential - the one in the lower left, centered between the four holes for the u-joint retainers? (ignore the yellow arrows - this picture was to ID a 9" rear)

    If that big nut was loose then you likely have a bad pinion bearing and may well have ruined your ring & pinion gears, too. The "clunk" you're hearing is excessive lash in the ring & pinion spacing.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
