Sorry, I meant did you check the sway bar bushings? Don't overlook simple things like a loose spare tire, or tools in a toolbox bouncing around.
Does your clunk come bouncing up or down? Is it related to any sway left or right?

Nothing is close to sway bars. I'm leaning toward those shocks. Randy

a huge bump, but it sounds more like I ran over a 2X4 or something. I
didn't notice any sway noise or problems left or right. Just checked the
sway bar bushings and there seems to be a slight amount of clearance
around bar. How tight should they be? Thanks Randy
