Fivespddisco Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Here's a quick test for a bad Watts link bushing with a video showing a bad bushing. Symptoms When you have a Watts link bushing going bad, normally you will hear a clunk and a bunk from the back of the truck when you go over bumps or from forward to reverse. The truck will also not want to track straight on the road and feel very loose. Instructions. Get your biggest friend to push on the truck side to side on the body right next to the rear taillight. We did driver-side to passenger side in this video. Now climb under and see if there is any play in the bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Never had much to do with D2s, what is the function of a "watts" linkage? Kind of looks like a twin set of panhards with a rotor in the middle or am I being thick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
