I've had a front end clunking at low speeds for a while now so I finally got around to having the sway links and bushings replaced, they were shot and needed it.

to my surprise the clunking is now worse and happens more often... everything "looks" ok. I paid special attention to looking at the LCA bushings but they look fine.

I do think my shocks are shot, the are original and have obviously leaked. Could that be the culprit?

Also, my mechanic said that my idler arm's were sloppy but everything else was nice and tight.

I guess I will replace the shocks and idler arm bushings. Thoughts, ideas?

Problem solved. The new driver's side sway link was not tight at the bottom. Tightened it to spec and it's good to go.
