Question I have a "clunk" on low speed turns...

I have a "clunk" on low speed turns, is it the trailing arm busings? If so, should I just replace these with the Rotary Extreme ones, or should I just replace the bushings? BTW, how much are the bushings, and where could I get some?

Start with the pillow ball replacement:

If you still have clunking, then move onto the bushings but usually most people just need the pillow *****.

...an update...

I've noticed that I also have a clunk coming from the rear end at low speeds RIGHT when I let off the clutch after shifting. Could this be the pillowball bushings as well, or would it be the PPF/Diff. Mounts?

I've got one: Can anyone diagnose a right rear clunk when going into reverse? Not trying to hijack your thread, but I couldn't help it.

While I'm at it, WaLieN, I've been meaning to ask...what's with the dancing pickle?
