    Need some help with passenger rear leaf spring.

    I had my Dad driving off of a 6 inch curb and then backing up back onto it at a fairly slow speed. I have been noticing a very noticeable clunk when driving off of the curb at a fairly slow speed. No noise when reversing back up the curb.

    I’m not sure where it is coming from but if anyone has ran into this problem before please tell me how you resolved this issue.

    I added some photos of my rear shackles they don’t seem to be worn up much.

    Thanks

    What do the springs look like? Are any leafs broken, are they all aligned?
    I had an 09 that developed a loud clunk turned out to be a broken leaf.
    Good luck!

    Exactly! And worth torquing the three attachment bolts as well.

    Front core support bushings can cause some weird clunking.
