Driveline "clunk" fix?

[4RunnerRon]

I might be a little off base here, but...

Don't the 4Runners have traction bars? What are those round links connecting the axle to the frame forward of the rear wheel centerline about 16"? Since we have an axle on a coil, we can't depend on leaf springs to transmit wheel thrust to the frame for acceleration/deceleration, so in a sense, aren't those already there??? Maybe those aren't traction bars, in a proper sense??

That's exactly what I was thinking. Tacomas have leaf springs in the rear, hence the traction bars to keep "axle wrap" to a minimum. I don't think that same principle applies to our 4Runners, since they have coils.

Does the driveline clunk just happan during hard stops, or does the clunk occur during a normal stop?
