Chasing the CLUNK: Replacing the 2016 RAV4 Stabilization Bar Bushings

Описание: Today we are chasing the clunk that I have in my Generation 4 2016 RAV4 Hybrid XLE for the past few months. It is driving me crazy as it is too annoying to ignore. It's also embarrassing if a passenger rides in the car with the said clunk. On smooth roads it it okay, but as you will see in the video, I do not live near smooth road.

I changed my front axle a few months ago because the boot was torn but that did not fix the clunk. I replaced my sway bar links a few days ago but that did not fix the clunk. While I was replacing the sway bar links, I was able to duplicate the sound by moving the stabilization bar with my hand while the other end was still connected. Upon inspection of the bushings, they didn't look so good. So today, I am replacing the bushings in hope that it eliminated the CLUNK!
