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,

Shocks are still good, as far as I can tell. I've been shaking, and found a few loose things, but I still hear it. I'm not sure what else I can check. I've removed the rear swaybar, so thats not it.

It could be the CVs, it does happen in both forward and reverse. It only happens when hitting a pretty big bump. The bigger the bump, the longer and louder it rattles/clunks. It's starting to annoy me, and the fact that I can't figure out what it is annoys me even more! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
