Default motor mounts: done... control arm bushings: bad again.
the motor mount came out in two pieces, if you can believe that!

so i had my control bushings done in march or april, and now they're bad again...

there's a lot of excessive movement with my passenger side arm, and a little bit from the driver's side...

what could cause the bushings to go bad again after such a short period of time? less than 5k miles.

would having the swaybar off negatively affect this?
