Im finally going to get into the suspension on my car and see what all the noises are about..
Over the past week, what I think is the control arm, has gotten worse so Im going to take it apart today, Im not really sure what Im looking for, Im guessing a bushing of some sorts, and if so is this something an auto parts store would carry? Maybe someone could tell me also what the dealer would charge to fix the control arm?

inspect every arm, if any of them have some play - replace you could do one arm at a time however..
its better to simply buy a full control arm kit and have them swapped with new bushings also. Check your TRE's also while your down there.

You just need a louder radio or exhaust.
Saw a post where someone paid $65 for labor on each arm replacement and another paid $250 for labor on all. On something like this, sems like the dealer would be a waste of money.
