support arms. suggest you find a good flat spot and loosen and tighten the aft facing nut on the rear support arm loosen and retorque both sides whilst on the ground or wheels on ramps (torque to 48 ft lbs). very impotrtant these nuts only be loosen and torqued with full weight on suspension. Then the other bushing bolts (vertical) be loosened and retorqued (4 places each side-torque 36 ft Lbs) then check security at the ball joint (2 places each side, torque 22) This should correct your problem. These bolts/bushings take a beating because all wheel torque is reacted through these support bolts/bushings and really sound off upon application of torque from the drive shafts. the bolts on the struts if loose, click and clack on bumps only and when turning.
