i replaced the oem trailing arms today with some megan racing ones but i still have a slight clunk in the rear. It's a tremendous improvement over how it was and i was curious if the bushing on the I-arm could be the cause, it was pretty easy to move around so i think that may be it, but again, i'm unsure. Thanks for the input.

Have you changed your diff bushings?

 

Pillowball bushings original? replaced? That might be the cause.

 

That would be my guess too.

that's what i figured too, but i thought the clunking came from the pieces recieving lateral pressure like the ones on the trailing arms. Either way i'm glad it's greatly improved but i just don't want to pull that darn I-arm off

 

Clunks = pillow ball bushings
Power on/off toe steer problems = trailing arm fwd bushing, and to a lesser degree lower control arm inboard bushings.

 

The bushings in the suspension where the traing arm bolts through is usually what beats out (the rubber bushing) where it mounts to the body would be an obvious failure and easy to check visually, the other end that the long bolt (connected to the suspension of course) connects to can be checked for play (shouldn't be any)with the body end undone
