It is about to warm up and time to think about getting rid of the wagon's clunking rear end. I suspect the bushings need to be replaced. Should I get poly or OEM style from IPD?
Remember, I only have a couple of 3/8 sockets and wrenches. No air compressor, no torch, no lift, and tight garage space.

After searching, I came across a couple of posts that mention metal fatigue and worn rods contributing to the clunk. Will this wear be evident just by crawling under the car for a visual? Or after the bushing is cut off?

No welding at my house. No bench vice or press.

BTW, a new slave push rod really makes the clutch work!

Thanks,
Klaus
