Default What could this clunking be?

I just removed my EGR and Air pump systems yesterday I drove the car to work and it was fine (I work midnites) and so when I got in it this morning everything was just fine and then a few miles down the road I start to here a slight rattle and then WHAM the car starts shaking and vibrating and making this EXTREMELY loud continous clunking noise when I press and hold the gas. I finally got it home and its on jack stands right now I put it in gear and got underneath the car it kind of sounds like its comming from the driveshaft though, but im not sure. I have fluid in the rear(although its very nasty and has a burnt smell to it I think ill change it 2day) and the torque arm bushing looks very old.What do you guys think any suggestions on what could be wrong? I could REALLy use the help right now. thanks

Nick

well I replaced the tq arm but one bolt wont go in ill do that 2morrow (have to go to work) BUT the driveshaft has ALOT of play in it. Could that be the u-joints or something else. I have quite alot of fluid leakage from the from seal on the rear and a decent amount of leagage by the rear seal of the tranny. What do you guys think? Could it be rear-end problems?
