<strike>I think theyre the trailing arms... Those big metal things that go from axle to frame and you need to drill out the rivets to replace it all.. Yeah, I cant think what it is now.</strike>

Ok, theyre the radius arms I am speaking of.

ANYWAY, what are the symptoms? I know mine are bad, just wanna make sure what I heard is what it is.

Thank you.

 

im guessing ur talking about the strut rod or as every one here calls it the radius arm

 

Hmm, I do believe that is it. Radius arm bushings! Thanks!

 

a load pop when u go over bumps i would think would be one way u would know or when the I beam is broke off and the sping is in another drivers car or sticking threw the fender lol but popping when accelorating and stoping would prolly be a symtom i would think. i havent had a bad one yet

changed the bushings in them once

thats about it

 

yea trailing arms are more like 4 link suspinsion set ups lol glad i could help

 

Thanks Hitokori. I didnt think they were trailing arms I was speaking of. I know my radius arm bushings are bad. Ive been hearings a solid clunk/knock when accelerating at lower speeds or slowing to lower speeds. I can feel it in the drivers floorboard which is why im asking what the symptoms are. I thought it might be from bad U-joints but I just replaced em yesterday and even though I do not have the bad vibration I did before, I do have this knocking.

 

Odds are if u have bad radius bushings the hanger that they sit in are bad too. The hole gets oval and the bushings dont sit correct
