    Lower front control arm bushings

    Just informed that these bushings are just about gone. Got a look at them and they are almost metal to metal. Seems that the bushings can't be replaced , you have to replace the whole arm assembly. Is this correct? Please advise possible solutions. Thanks. Maury

    Replacing the entire arm is probably the most cost effective way to do it.

    Actually Rockauto has a set for the upper & lower.

    Talking Thanks for the heads up.

    Found complete arms locally at excellent price and highly qualified mechanic to do the work. Will have them installed when I get back from Louisville. Not to direct metal contact yet. Thanks. Maury
