New Body Mount Parts, no more CLUNK!!

Did you get the VA worked out? I know how frustrating it can be.
Im at 90% now, working through the last 10%. Though as a huge win I finally got the Va to service connect my combat injuries haha amazing how hard it is to navigate on your own. ive got an angry vso whos helping me a bit.

The last 10% is the hardest. Stupid VA math. Good luck bro!
 
Update from my previous post. I have now changed sway bar bushings with some from Autozone and did greaseable end links as well. The clunk returned. Changed out the body mounts with TRX parts and still had the clunk. They needed to be changed though. Finally crawled back under the truck and had my dad rock the truck. The clunk was coming from the sway bar bushing again. I could feel the sway bar popping. Took the sway bar back off and greased the ever living daylights out of the bushings. Grease on every side of it and bolted it back up. I’m a couple days in with no more noise so we’ll see how it goes.

Ok so got the parts and it’s been freezing in Detroit so don’t have much time to crawl under and do the whole job. Today was a balmy 30 after work so I crawled under and swapped out two of the big rubber washers just to see if that is where my noise is. Took it out for a spin after and I will be damned. No more clunking or rattling just from the bottom rubber washer being swapped. The body mount looked good from looking up at them from underneath. Hopefully my rattle is gone!
