Bushings/Control arm:
Dealer told me a while ago that I should replace my bushings soon.
I hear a slight knock sometimes if I hit a hard pot hole...but most of the time it's ok. Should I have the control arms replaced of just the bushings? |
How many miles? Which bushing is it?
|
It says one of the front uppers on the dealers invoice. But I hear it in the back.
90K miles |
What do you mean by "in the back"? Rear suspension? Front control arm closest to the cabin?
However, if the bushings is bad, at that mileage I'd just replace the whole arm. The ball joint is probably pretty worn out, as well. And only a matter of time before it tears and starts making noises. Good luck. |
In the back..... sounds like a ball joint to me.
thats what I was thinking....just replacing the whole are. Ive seen posts on here of guys just replacing the bushings and was wondering if that’s just a bandaid |

Yeah...I'm not going to go cheap...I'd rather just replace them all. The dealer told me that their were "bushings" that needed to be replaced...then at a later date I asked them to look for them and they said the front upper ...I can't remember on what side. But I am hearing something going on in the back.
I have looked at them and I can't tell if one of them are bad. |
Anyone have any directions for changing front and back control arms. I have searched and haven't been able to find any...only other models.
