Umm because for Cobra's it is a commonly known issue that "Cant" be fixed. Not all cars are the same,and mine is no different from that fact.
If you do research, a LOT of RWD cars make the "clunking" noise when you put it into gear,or at random times of acceleration,due to the u joints,driveshaft,or the bushings mounted to the diff.
Judging by the fact that you rep ramey built,and mr. ramey deals with FWD hondas, I would assume you definitely wouldnt really be too experienced with RWD V8 vehicles,that deal with driveshafts,u joints, solid rear axles, Independent rear suspensions,etc.
I didnt tell him not to worry about it,but ive been in MANY cars (including a G35) that makes the "Clunk" noise,and guess what? They were all rear wheel drive. So ill say it again,if the noise is louder than normal,or feels abnormal,he should check it out. But given the fact that its a ford explorer (ive driven hundreds of those too,they make clunking diff noises as well),I wouldnt worry about it being a big issue.
