Frontend Clunk
After having all 4 shocks replaced, my truck now has a clunk in the left front area. I'm told it's due to a bad L/F Upper Control Arm Bushing & that to fix it the control arm needs to be replaced. Does this about right? And any suggestions on where to get it? Thanks.

If it turns out to be the lower ball joints ...might as well do the Upper control arm too at that time, because you'll have the whole thing tore apart anyway.

Thanks for the input, enriched&beyound & rjcorazza. The links were replaced about a year or 2 ago & still look new. My tech (& friend) is the one who diag'd it so I trust it's the arm bushing. Was just hoping to hear from someone who's been there & done that. The degree to which it's clunking I'm thinking that it would be apparent with a visual inspection. So, I will be getting under there & taking look.
