Default control arm wear

anyone got pics of what i should be looking for? I brought to the dealer for the recall, they said it was fine. I recently did a brake job and if i'm looking at the right spot where the control arms meet, the rubber looks really mashed and uneven. Car creaks when i drive. Upper link? What the hell is the upperlink anyway? is there a lower link?

Default Re: control arm wear

i'm gonna assume you're talking about the front end.

each side has 4 arms, 2 upper and 2 lower.
if you push down on the front end and hear the creaking, then you'd probably wanna go find another person to take a look at the arms & smack your dealer as well, for being a cheap-a$$.

check the link for pics.<ul><li><a href="http://www.blauparts.com/suspension/control%20arms/control_arms.htm">Blauparts</a></li></ul>
