I have a strange noise coming from the passenger rear of the jeep after making a right hand turn. It happens once I have straightened out and and start going down the road.
It's a clunking noise, like the leaf springs are "settling," if that makes any sense. At first I thought it was my rear Aussie locker acting up, like it was trying engage/disengage. Then I thought that maybe my rear passenger tire's lugnuts were loose causing the clunking noise after turning. Both of those checked out fine.
The leaf spring looked perfectly fine. Upon close inspection, I noticed that the upper bushing on my Rocky Road Outfitter shackles were separating. Me thinks that this could be contributing to the noise.
First of all, are these bushings replaceable?
Second of all, has anyone else had this happen, or does anyone have a suggestion as to what this could be caused by?
