In Cruzin's post further up you can see a good control arm...
This is what a ruined bush looks like!


Sway bar bushes are less then $20 on e-bay and are only a 40 min job to do, so it's worth doing them but a major clunk is more likely control arms.

At least they are only $70 for aftermarket ones, I had a Lexus LS400 and it was due for upper and lower control arms - $1300 for reconditioned ones!

Man thanks!
I just dropped off AGAIN the PT today at the garage. The clunk noise was really loud!

What is strange is that each time the garage changed the sway bars ( TWICE THIS YEAR) The noise went away.
I really appreciate your input!
