I have had bad u-joints "clunk" when going from forward to reverse and vise versa. Why do you suspect the control arm?



Funny you mention that. I am starting to wonder if the clunk was not LCA related but I've eliminated several other potential problems. The U joints and the trans yolk were both toast and causing 'other' clunks. Those got fixed last year.

Check your strut rod bushings.

Strut rod bushings are poly and fairly new. Have them out too but no apparent wear or problems.

Autoxcuda, yes I was wondering about the tolerance on that as well. Mine don't seem exceptionally worn but there is some play. Wondering if a few choice blows with a chisel all around the circumference would stake the outers into the inner. That fix might be only temporary if it worked at all.
