What is this?
Found this on my driveway....I think it came from my 2001 F-150 but not sure. What is it? Have developed a clunk when driving over bumps etc. Sounds like it is coming out of the bed area..

Looks like it has a bushing of some type on it. I would get under your truck and start looking around. Try to pin point the area thats making noise... (maybe have someone jump around in the bed of your truck).

By a new sway bar link and pop it in... That is most likely the source of your clunk and it is an easy replacement...

fo sho, its a factory link bushing. a new end link kit is cheap, moog runs like $11 per link. when you replace the one side thats broken replace the other side as well. always replace in pairs, that goes for everything. i would also check you stabilizer bar bushings as well. look at where the stabilizer bar is mounted to the frame, there will be one bushing on each side.
