Brian, I would tend to agree that it would not be guide rod bushings(even though the rubbers are cracked), or the rod mounts(boots/rubber gone) for that matter as that seems to only cause the "clunking" from stop and go/ over bumps at low speed which have been described through out the forum here(forward and rearward movement for the most part).

Going to look at LCA's and b/j's also(thanks).

I will be replacing those eventually, but first things first on this little project.
