Yep, this fixed my rattle from the rear end on my 2000 S with 50k miles. Plus, the car feels much more planted now in turns.

Hey @Pdwight / @AaronPDX / j.fro and anyone else that's done this... I also have a clunking back end (hehe) and just want to check that the part you replaced to fix it was #8 in the diagram below...?



Several seemingly random variations on the 'Control Arms' name seem to be used interchangeably between parts #8, #9 and #17 depending on where I'm looking, so want to be sure I buy the right bit!

Thanks!

So, On the control arms which end usually goes? is it the bushings that wear or the metal fatigues?
