Axle Still Clunking after new cup washers & shims

[whitestu]

I recently replaced the cup washers and shims in my '80 B rear axle to try to get rid of the clunk. One of the cup washers was clearly worn and like tin foil but nothing else seemed to be. After re-assembly the clunk is unchanged. The prop seems fine so I don't know whether to live with it or investigate further. I have about 8-9mm of movement on the input flange to the diff which I think is at the upper range of acceptable. Is there anything easy to do next or is it a case of a full axle rebuild or live with it?

Thanks

How many miles has it done? could be worth looking at the splines on the half shafts,

Thicker washers are available to take up the wear, but you must
leave some free play
