  • Lower control arm bushings

    How do I know when the rear lower control arm bushings are going bad? Squeeking over bumps and a smaking noise over a hard bump :eek: (when rear hits)?

    How hard are they to replace?

        Sure its the LCA bushings? It could be the pan hard bar or the sway bar too. All of them sound possible for squeeking over bumps. Do all those bushings look bad? If not take some grease to them and go wild. [img]smile.gif[/img]

          Probably the springs before the bushings anyday. Bushings on the springs even, but not the LCA / PHR bushings. Spray some lube up in that -- probably the spring or the shock

            The squeaking is not what concerns me, but when I hit a hard bump I hear a metal on metal smack...similar to what was explained in the instructions for my SFCs describing if the lca was not tight...but my lca is tight
