Clunk clunk goes the front end
'04 Pacifica
So I've replaced every bushing and link in the front end (one at a time, here and there) and all is well for about 10K miles, then it repeats the cycle.
Where can I get better grade bushings so this doesn't keep happening?
Thanks!

The clamps can be a bear to tighten...so make sure you are patient, and that they are properly and evenly tightened.

The part number is 9.5169R. the bracket needs a slight modification, I cut one one of the bolt slots straight through to match how the factory bracket was. This makes it easier for install and to make sure the bolts are straight for the reinstall. You do not want to cross thread the nut in the engine cradle, the slots on the new bracket are right at the limit of the bolt holes. Also you will need to put something around the stabilizer bar to keep it from moving as the new bushings are narrower. I used industrial zip ties.
Any questions just post back, I am subscribed to is thread and get an email when there is a post.
The car handles like it is on rails now. no waddling going down the road or clunking.
