With very few exceptions clanging, clunking and rattling are caused by worn parts. The best solution is to find and replace the offending part/ parts. Since the early 70's most auto manufactures have been using maintenance free parts (no lube fittings). If your's has grease fittings and is not an older vehicle you are most likely looking at an after market replacement part. If you are looking for a temporary solution and have grease fittings get the highest viscosity grease you can find. I wouldn't waist money on synthetic lubes because no matter what you use,like it or not, you'll end up doing the the repair.

If you're getting a clang sound you have more issues than the "best", you have a problem with "no" grease.
Block the wheels, apply the parking brake, put the car\truck into neutral, and move the drive shaft by hand. (you should not be able to)
You may need new U-joints.

If it's making a 'clanging' noise I doubt lubricant will solve the problem. Check for wear in the joints.
