Hey Guys

I have a 2002 QX4 with 152,000km. Some times when i am turning and breaking into a parking stall i might here a bit of a cluck or 2 in the front end. Also if im going over a bumpy road surface that tosses the truck from side to side, i also hear a bit of a clunk in the front end. I am assuming this is maybe some bushings that need replacing?

Check your sway bar linkage.

i don't think Warn makes bushings for our vehicles. in fact, i don't think they make bushings at all.

Yes, you are looking to see if there is a lot of free play in the sway bar links. If they link bushings are worn then you can pick up a pair of links for fairly cheap. If you push down on either front corner of your vehicle and it makes the cluck noise then you will most likely have to replace them.
