Knocking from front end.....
Anyone know which bushings to replace and where I can order the parts? '91 LS 400
The front end knocks when even the slightest bump is run over. I have jheard that some parts suppliers sell the control arm with the bushings pressed on. Can I just replace the bushings or should I find the suspension arms with the bushings allready on?
Thanks

Depending on how much the press-in bushings cost. I've replaced mine about four years ago and I paid $140 for both arms from the dealer. IMO it's probably easier to just place the whole thing and less time consuming.
