could be u-joints or a sloppy ring and pinion gear mating. The slack has got to be taken up somewhere. Without knowing the mils i would get under truck and wiggle up and down and side ways and twist by hand all the u-joints and look for wear even rust, that would be the cheapest fix

99 Monte Carlo have a clunking noise coming from rear?

Im not 100% sure. but i have a 97 Monte Carlo. and i think i have isolated the sound to the gas tank expanding and contracting. it has a plastic gas tank, and the sound sounds similar to a plastic drum/barrel/container clunking from expanding/contracting.
