Had a strange clunking noise in the truck,and acceleration and braking.Checked the clutch,tranny,u joints,and calipers,no luck. Finally jacked truck off the ground fron the frame and saw a space between the trailing arms and the rear axle.Tightened up the u bolts and now no noise. Problem is, looks like the arms are starting to collapse.Anybody got some good used one for me ? Got a decent price from Ed at Mothertruckers,but I haven't dealt with him before.Any opinions board ? Wes or Paul, have you guys got any ? Probably will change coils springs as well, will need cups and hardware,looking for inner fenders also...Any opinions appreciated.
