Re: Parts needed,clunk question



My 68 American does the same clunking..on the right hand side.  I've tightened a few things but its still there.  it just passed a certification so the front end had to be tight.

I suspect an A arm bushing because the bushing "sets" going forward and stays there, but when you back up and put on brakes it moves. It's most likely an upper A arm bushing, not the lower. Turning will put more pressure on one of the upper bushings depending on the direction of turn. Have the bushings ever been changed?
