I thought my clunk issues were resolved, but they are not. I'm not sure what it could be, but right rear suspension has a fairly significant clunk over bumps (large or small). Poking around last night, I didn't see anything obvious. As a refresher, most of the suspension components are new. Endlinks, sway bar, shocks/springs/mounts/etc. I haven't replaced bushings or anything of the like.

I've thought about swapping endlinks from one side to the other and seeing if the noise moves. I've also thought about just completely disassembling the rear suspension and reassembling. Replace bushings, reassemble the shock assembly, etc.

Any other ideas?

If you don't figure it out soon, I might be able to come look at it. I'm planning to make the next super cruise.

Found it. I pulled the wheel off, and pushed things around, checked tightness, and all was good. After putting the wheel back on again while still in the air, pushed on the bottom, side, top of the tire. Passenger side upper control arm outer bushing is completely shot. Bushing/endlink were my two top thoughts. Now it's on the replacing the bushings. Might as well do it all the way around.

glad you figured it out.

What are you using to push the bushings in/out? I might do this sometime in the future.

When I replaced the bushings on my car, I used a press. Really the only other option is to burn them out but the neighbors don't really like that.

I'll try a redneck press, some threaded rod, fender washers, etc. Should work. If not, I'll probably torch em.
