problem with new trailing arms
I replaced both trailing arms to get rid of a "clunk" when I go over a bump. I tightened the new arms in without a torque wrench and probably did not go to the 118 foot lbs required. Could this cause the clunk to remain? I have since replaced lower control arms and drop links but the clunk is still there.

can you specify exactly what you replaced? there are multiple sources for a clunk; upper strut mount, ball joints on the control arm (9), sway bar links, toe control arms (17), etc

looks like you replaced the most likely culprits; if you're still clunking, I'd next replace the upper shock mounts; if that doesn't work, only other thing to replace that I'm aware of would be the toe control arms #17

yep. I changed them early on and when I replaced the control arm and the trailing arm I put them under load before tightening them. Am now starting to doubt my sanity. Is it possible to install trailing arms backwards? don't think so but who knows.
