Douglas 32

"Maybe the clunk is not in the packing nut, but inside the rudder.
Lock the steering, and push the rudder side to side while it is on the cradle, and see where the noise is - inside the rudder, or from the top or bottom bearing?"

I had a 'clunk' my rudder, but resolved it by dropping the rudder shoe ans replacing the bottom bushing
