Is there any way to remove the trailing arms to replace the bushings without changing the alignment? Also, is there any way to tell if the bushings are bad without removing the trailing arms? I'm still trying to chase down a clunk coming from the rear of the car when ever I hit a bump, and I'm starting to wonder if the bushings might be shot. All advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

IMO, a clunk coming from the back end... hmmmm.

1. Shocks that are shot.
2. Something loose. Get the car up on jackstands and start shaking the hell out of it.
3. Worn swaybar bushings... something popping in and out?
4. CV joints dry/worn. Does the popping occur in reverse as well as forward?
