Default Clunking still occurs after new Watts
Popped in new poly bushes for Watts and outer arms but still feeling that clunk in my seat when going over tough terrain. Had my brother rock the truck back a forth while I check the Linkage and everything seems tight with barley any movement. Looks like they’re just squishing from the movement. Any suggestions?

Are you sure the clunk is coming from the watts? I got a clunk that took forever to locate and it was a sway bar link that was separated and when it was sitting level you couldn't tell it was popped.

that might be it. With how much clunk there still is with new bushings in the watts it just doesn’t make sense. Any recommendation on replacement parts?

I didn't replace the links, I just removed the sway bar and tossed it in the bin. If your going to replace it my first call is Lucky8

The sway bar yes I did lol. I noticed no difference in the truck, at all.

Aside from that annoying clunk being gone.

Could it be the bar from the rear differential to the driver side frame rail? It has rubber bushings in each end.
