Upper Control Arm Bushings...
Hello everyone,

i was at the Dealership last week to get the Peice of Mind package they had on and the
Mechanic told me i need to replace the Left Upper Control Arm Bushing and to do the Right side at the same time
its costly.
what is this and do i really need to get it done?
Thanks !!!

RE: Upper Control Arm Bushings...
No such animal on your car. You have no upper control arms. Lower control arms upper is replaced buy spindle and mcphearson strut assembly.
Lower control arm bushings may need to be done and I would recommend them in sets front and rear on both the left and right front control arms to provide even arm deflection uppon bumps and suzpension loads so you do not have any "pull" develope in your steering. Double check or have him show you what your car needs. If the rubber is missing, torn, broken or severely cracked I would agree they should be changed.
