Gotta clunk in the rear. Replaced watts, no change. Installed sway bar links, helped.

But the clunk is still there. Before I replace the sway bar links the clunk coming front he rear end would happen when turning right AND left. With the new sway bar links installed the clunk only happens when turning left.
Any rear suspension experts know where I go next?

I had this happen on 2 different DIIs. The first one had rear Bilstein shocks and one lower nut/bolt came loose. It wasn't that loose, but enough to make a clunk sound. The other truck had a worn Radius arm bushing @ the frame(the others were near the same condition). The bushing looked fine, but not so much. Drove me F'in mad! Don't know if that gives you a solution, but let's hope.

One more thought, are you running upper spring isolators (like ANR2938)? I had a DI that the PO didn't put them in with new OME springs and it would clunk. I tried A-arm joint, bushings, etc just to realize the clunk came from the spring. I know this was on a DI(no watts etc), but still worth a look.

" The clunk is also a lot less loud/noticeable but it's still there. "
It's going to be something simple, just a temporary PITA to find. When you check the radius arm bushings for play try using a pipe wrench. Putting the pipe wrench flat on the arm and pushing down you will easily see any deflection in the bushings. It just worked better than a pry bar for me. Good luck you'll get it!
And now that I've started drinking I might come up with something else to try.
