so all the sudden my truck has a clunk noise in the bed. Seems to happen when I just take off or bumps while going slow. Like the huge pot hole in my driveway. Could it be rear sway bar ? I shook the rear of my truck by hand. Side ways back and fourth and it look like sway was lose so I tightened it. I thought it was good but few days later it was back. Bushings maybe ??

Known issue, there is a transmission flash to correct it.

Bad shocks? Rubber spring spacers going bad? Bad U joint? Bad pinon bearing? Could be many things. I have a clunking/rattling noise with mine that started a few months after we lowered it, kinds like a loose Tailgate. Something is loose back there need to make the time to check it out.
