    can anyone help out? I was wondering what kind of a noise a bent track bar bracket would make? Mine is bent and I'm getting a lot of noises from the rear end. I don't know if it's that or my differential. Any ideas what it is?

    It's like a clunk more than anything else. Or a popping noise sometimes

    The u joints are all good. The track bar doesn't seem to move when I try to wiggle or shake it. Here is a picture of my bracket IMG_2283.jpg
