Front upper control arms
I have an 06 AWD. I hear some squeaking upon doing suspension inspection, while replacing tie rods and lower ball joints, from the front driver side upper control arm. It is definitely the upper contorl arm bushing as you can hear it upon moving it. I dont want to replace control arms at $267 a pop from sewell. The ball joint up there looks ok. Anyone have experience with these specific components and can provide some review or guidance? http://shopfigs.com/v1/index.php?rou...product_id=197
I rather spend $200 bucks on 4 bushings than $535+shipping for two new arms. I rather just remove the arm then take it to a front end shop to get the new bushings pressed in. It seems like its gonna be a B@$# to get the upper arm out based on the clearance up there though!
Funny thing is at 89k, my struts look fine although i plan to replace soon anyway.
