Default Clanking from right rear 87 Turbo

Let's play a game of 'guess that noise'. I'll fully admit I haven't put the car on jacks yet to look at this. I had this clank develop on a drive recently and it happens when there's load, either accel or decel. It seems to be relative to vehicle speed in cadence but otherwise the car seems to drive normally. I asked my wife to record a video so we could verify it was coming from the right rear and so I could share on the forum. This particular attempt it only seemed to be doing it on deceleration.
Hopefully this weekend I can get the car up and have a look, but thought someone might have an idea. Thanks!

Sounds like a cv joint.

I replaced the axle and bolts and fortunately the problem is now resolved. Wanted to post an update in case it helps someone in the future.

I installed a GKN axle from fcp euro and oem triple square bolts and everything went in as expected.
