I changed the end-links on my front sway bar it helped but I was still getting that clunk-clunk noise whenever I would go over the slightess little bump so today I decided to change the front saddle bushings(OEM Part # MN100250) on the swaybar. Only one bolt (front driver side) was hard to get at because of a power streering hose that runs just above the head forcing me to use a box wrench instead of a ratchet. My Outlander now rides like a new one and it only cost me 20$ and one hour. Finally I can bring the radio volume control down a knotch......
Went for a long ride today it was so pleasant not earing that klunk klunk. Beleive me it is worth it.....

So what was the part number of the saddle bushings? In the pic you provided, is that the stock bushing? Congrats on getting rid of the clunk!

Sorry, OEM Part # MN100250. Since I could not find an aftermarket I went with OEM. Less than 20$ for both. The picture shows the new one after intallation. The old ones were worn and full of dirt and cracks.

Thanks! I'll remember this when/if I ever start to have that clunk clunk problem at every bump bump! I have an 06 but you never know when stuff is gonna start falling apart! Would you happen to be on cardomain.com?

Not on Cardomain but I do have pictures in My Garage of this site. My Outlander started making the noise very gradually at around 75000Km (40000 miles)

I have the same clunking in my 04 as well!Railway crossings sound the worst..i thought it had a broke strut or mount.Im going to take a close look at the bushings you replaced.Thanks very much for taking the time to post the photo Outy...really helps!Were did you get the bushings from?I dont have a lot of experience with suspension repairs.Is there any way to test(or at least get a better idea) of where my clunking is coming from..in case my problem is different?Jack up frame of car and then take weight off suspension and look for play?
Did you have any problems with squeeky bushings in the rear suspension by chance?Drove me bloody crazy!I had mine replaced while still under warranty.

I added grease nipples on dogbones and upper control arm, no more squeaks. The bushings I purchased at dealer.Part # MN100250. If at every bump you hear clunk clunk it's the bushings or end-links. I had first changed the end links but the clunk clunk remained so I changed the bushings.

My 2004 Outy at 30,000 miles is starting to make the squeeking noise in the rear you describe. Mine is still under warranty but when I brought it in the techs said they couldn't find anything. Which rear bushings were causing the noise? control arms, sway bars??

I added grease nipples to upper control arm outer bushing and both dogbone bushings, you can see this mod in my garage.

Thanks a lot i was starting to worry about that noise. :)

If you can find them buy polyurethane bushings because the OEM don't last.
