Angry Bad Clunk!

I finished the front end swap in my 78 today and drove it down the road and thier is a BAD Clunk coming from the paasager side I drove with a passager and he said it was right under his feet-I think The ratious arm bushing is bad(thin) allowing movement I reused the old one that didn't look that bad- I'll just take the nut off the ratious arm and raise it up a lttle with a floor jack to take off the pressure and take old ones out(laft and right) and install new ones.
Could that be it?
I double and triple ckecked everything it's ALL tight with cotter pins in them
later
Dustin
PS it only happens over bumps IE my friggen driveway

Sounds like you're on the right track with the radius arm bushings. The C-bushings at the other end of the radius arms can do the same thing if they are worn too. Also check the tracking arm bushings.
