Clunkin' junk. Control Arms strike back!
I have the common creeking/clunking from front end on the car. New tie rod ends are in and it still is junk. So I need control arms. How do I know which to order? e.g. Upper, lower, whatever. Any idea what to look for on the car, so I know what to replace?
What is the cheapest place you know to get some?
Thank you.

Do you have new struts?
I just hit 70k, have been spending the past few days putting in K04, Down pipe, Timing Belt, Ribbed Belt, Struts, bushings.
Before my woes with the ribbed belt, I noticed that struts and bushings took care of all squeeks and clunks.

my upper arms are shot, but I had to remove them to tell...
...the rubber bushing is all cracked through, but it still "works". Just a ton of movement.
So I'm not sure the "jiggle" tells the whole story?
