Just to followup with @GlassTop09
I did the diff bushing (at Ford), this got rid of at least 75% of the noise I was hearing. I’ve yet to take her on an extended drive to gauge if it’s enough or not. It very well may be.
I now have a NEW clunk I’m uncomfortable with (mostly because I don’t yet know the source). It sounds like a loose fastener more than anything else. I’m hoping the adjuster locknut(s) may have loosened during the bushing install.
I’ll go over everything myself in a few days to see what I find. It may simply be that the front poly is now more easily heard, and I just started noticing it. As long as everything is actually tight, I can live with it for the time being.
