Default sway bar bushing or caster arm bushing

Replaced them both, now I have a clunking sound from the drivers side. I replaced my LBJ and tie rods already.

Mechanic is saying it may be the front sway bar bushing as the bar has a slight amount of play in it.
It clunks over every bump, really annoying... I'm getting sick and tired of this car.


Thoughts?

Mechanic checked those as well, they are solid.

I 'm going to replace the swayarm bushings with oem replacements and will check back.

I'm having the worst luck with these bushings man.

Moog replacement bushings fixed my problem.

I had changed out the OEM to Prothane... and thats when I had the issues.

So far so good with the moog rubbers.
