Re: Rear end clunk

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've heard of a "clunk" referred to in relation to a u-joint, but don't recall 
such a noise connection to any crush bushing / crush sleeve. Which 741-742 won't 
have anyway, as Jimmy noted.  As a "back up alarm" that clunk mainly alerts the driver though. LOL 

I don't remember seeing repro front bench seat rests but I recall seeing some
fabricated out of wood as a DIY fix.

Thanks,
Gary H.
