Thanks for this video. I have this same clunk in a 2000 Avalon at 188k miles that I just purchased. Maintenance records show a recent rear strut replacement at a shop. I was wondering how they missed this clunk. 👏🏼
Im at 286k, ive replaced suspension, rack, ps pump/lines, control arms, ball joints, sway bars & front bushings. Didnt think to do the rears since they looked good. Boy was i wrongg, im about to do this now that ive seen this.
I would never use a impact on them bolts holding the swaybar bushing bracket. Especially on a older car. The bolts are known to break due to rust and what not. You got very lucky the bolts didn't break, if it did, you'd be hearing way more clunkin and trips to the hardware store lol
Thanks for the video. My question is why the clunk when your old bushings looked in decent shape? I have the same situation ("loose spare tire noise" syndrome). Pondering whether to replace or not.
Not that you'll be changing your sway bar links anytime soon......but if you put a hex driver in your impact wrench and spin it clockwise while holding the 14mm nut w/ a box end.....well, there ya go !!

Glad it helped
Wrong strut?
Thanks so much for making this video, now I know what I am hearing and can replace them.

And yeah, that front bushing was not fun, took a while with no ratchet wrench
Gotta love how many times you have to rotate a screw when it has no room 😂
Wow, great video. Thank you for uploading this video clip. I learn a lot from your video and I will try to fix my Avalon.
realy appreciate the video! I wish you put links for all the stuff you bought.
Great video! Is the part number the same for the front and rear sway bar bushing? TIA!
No, front and rear are separate part numbers
Good job

The bushings looked fine, but were actually worn down. The new ones compress a bit when installed so they hold the sway bar a lot tighter.
Did you eventually replace sway bar end links? Those are big culprits.
Never mind, should've kept watching. 😂

Huh imma have to try that I have that same noise on my es330
Nice job. What camera are you using?
what is the name of this things that lift the car up ?
Think those are Rhino Ramps. They sell them at Oreillys, Autozone and Walmart I think.
