Default Clunking Noise

Hello, we own two Jeep Cherokees a 96(4W) and 98(2W). I just did a brake job on my 96. New wheel cylinders, shoes, and brake lines. Drove it around for a couple of days to make sure every thing was in order.

Last night I was leaving the house and it started making a loud clunking noise. (Sounds like its coming from the rear) It only makes the noise when coasting. When I accelerate it stops.

Due to the economy I am kind of a new mechanic.

I would appreciate any advice or directions.
Thanks

Thats going to be really difficult to diagnose, try and narrow it down to a particular component. I would say check your ujoints but it could be a bunch of different stuff. Good luck. Coach
