Need help with my Lincoln's rear end

[Telco]

I took it for a drive down to my dad's house today to fix the paint, and it felt like I have a clunk in the rear end, like I keep hitting potholes or something. Can anyone see what might be wrong? I took a picture...

Easy..... You're missing part of your tire.

Hey you're right! I wonder if it's related to the draft I also feel coming in from behind the driver's seat? Heh heh heh... naw really I'm about to change the rear outer tie rod ends (there's probably a different name for the part but everyone should know what parts I'm talking about) and I need the torque value for the nuts, if anyone has them handy.

Ive heard it called the rear tie rod, or the rear adjustable links

Superior, thanks!

I thought I was the only one with the chromed rear suspension parts.

Superior, thanks!

Please note that the nuts are one-time use and must be replaced. They don't come with the toe links.
