Replacing rear trailing arm bushing., Is there any way to... Options

[mike_the_man]

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,

You may want to take the 22mm nut off the inner mount and check the hole for an out of round condition. This would be the one on your suspension ear than comes down through the engine compartment. This shouldn't change the alignment and you can look at an area that would normally not be noticed (oblong mount under the nut).

CV Joints going can also be the culprit.

(Damn, I hope I got that right. I'm sure I'll hear about it if I didn't)
