My only reasoning for changing all the parts is I really don't know which part is causing my clunking. I pulled really hard on the suspension parts, but could find no play in any. Tried that with the wheels on and off the ground. I saw that $349 including shipping bought everything, and I figured that if most of the suspension parts were going to wear out soon, then may as well change them all if it can be done cheaply. I may have more than one part bad as it is. However, if the quality of those aftermarket parts/bushings is poor, then going the non OEM route is out of the question.
I know someone who can press the bushings for me if I end up needing that. I may just start by replacing the strut links, and see if that fixes it. If not, then I guess its going to be a process of elimination!
