I have had a squeak in my suspension for a few weeks now...Ive recently done my brakes and full suspension so I figured one of those to be the culprit..well last night I decided to investigate...
What I found is that the front bushing on my lower control arm has slipped out of its place...its still there but the rubber has slid down revealing the metal housing and thats whats hitting the frame of the car causing the sqeak.
I have a parts list and it looks like i can order just the bushing for around 5 bucks. but im not sure if replacing that is a project ill be able to do. I dont know if it has to be pressed in or what? I can get a brand new fully loaded control arm with all bushings for like 100 each...or just the bushing for like 5 bucks? or I can get a used control arm with all the bushings from Ed, which he does not know the milage on....I dont know what to do. LOL
Has anyone replaced any of the bushings or the control arm itself? any helpfull tips are appreciated. I need to get this fixed asap so my tire dont fall off one day..lol
thanks
