drivetrain shudder when coming to stop

Trying to diagnose a shudder/continuing clunk in the drivetrain when I come to a stop in my County 110. It only happens for the final 3-4m before completely stopping, occurs in forward and reverse and if I have the brakes engaged or not. It doesn't happen when just idling along though.

Recently put some grease inside the front propshaft boot as its split and wanted to add a little protection until I replace the boot. Could this be causing it?

Have adjusted the handbrake right off but yet to remove the handbrake drum. Considering the shudder is there regardless of if the brakes are applied or not I've rules out a disc or rear drum issue.

I'd expect if there was a problem with one of the drive shafts it would get worse with speed and revolution, which isn't the case.

What other possibilities could there be?

Remove it and check.

Removed handbrake. Problem fixed. Still have to put drum back together as the bolt heads that hold the rear drive shaft are rounded, need to find some new ones.

The uni at the rear diff was also buggered so going to see if Repco has one tomorrow
