clunky

[xxrjxx]

clunky on bumps and pretty much whenever im not on flat ground, sound from front and rear, i know these have problems with bushngs, where should i start? lca's and trailing arms? shocks/struts? thanks

[skulptr]

ball joints, sway bar end links and bushings front and rear, strut tower mounts, wheel bearings, trailing arm (rear) bushings, tie rod ends

 

 

thats your basic "find the clunk" list. check those things first.

all the ball joints and sway bar links look good, cv's look good, only thing i cant really see is the lower control arm bushings and the trailing arm bushings..by strut tower mounts do u mean the shock tower themselves or the struts themselves? guess u cant tell till u take them out?

open the hood, look to the top of the strut towers, there is a bolt coming through in the center of the mount, rock the truck, if you see excessive play in it, the mounts are bad, they are completely seperate from the strut towers, and easily replacable, but can cause extreme damage if you don't fix em.

 

utilize your search function, and you'll find lots of information. there's my clunk thread from a few months back.
