Front upper control arm bushing

Hi everyone!

I just visited my mechanic because of noise coming from front suspension. He said my upper control arm bushings are bad and it cannot be replaced alone so need to change control arm. Do you think I need to change it and any brand suggestions?

yes you have to change the whole arm, its an easy job and the parts are inexpensive.... there are tons of cheap aftermarket ones that are decent....I would get any one with a lifetime guarantee (most have them) these Doorman part numbers 522052/522051 are about $30.00 per side form Rockauto...I've also used Mevotech, they are about $40.00 per side at Rock auto...both have limited lifetime warrantys

Place a WTB ad in the Classifieds. Those who have swapped to adjustable arms might still their originals taking up space.
