I had a bad moaning sound that turned out to be a destroyed bushing on an upper control arm
It was actually kinda scary!

No idea how it happened, but I ended up replacing all the upper control arms
Aside from the destroyed bushing, the ball joint was very loose on the other end of that arm. Also, one of the other arms was showing similar loose ball joints. I didn't want to risk anything so I replace all 4 upper arms. It was around $400-$500 in parts and I'd figure add another $200-$300 for labor. You'll probably pay more like $1200 total at a dealer.
