You can do it in the driveway, up on stands. It's not too hard, but it will take some time, unless you have small hands!

Thanks for the reassuring confirmation, Joel.
Don't have particularly small hands, but DO have a whole lot of time--so
I'll go ahead and try to tackle this job, along with all the others that are
rapidly piling up with this car.
Good luck with yours too, Jotto,,,hope there'll soon be two non-clunking
Corvettes on either side of the Atlantic!

Thanks for posting the question. My '78 has the same "CLUNK". I'll check the bushing next time I get it on a lift. Maybe I can worry less now... It has been doing it for years... I have been waiting for the rear end to crap out, maybe that is why it never gets worse.

The clunk in mine turned out to be U joints. Found out after I changed the bushing.
