Dusty256 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I have a question about the bushing on the front control arm . I am talking about the one at the rear of the control arm where it mounts to to the kmember. What at is the normal amount of play that is allowed with this bushing . Mine moves up and quite a bit . Not enough to hit metal but with a pry bar I can move it up and down a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Well it does have to flex. I don't know if there is a hard and fast rule about how much it is allowed to flex, but with enough leverage from a pry bar, I'm sure you can get it to flex a whole bunch. Are you having issues? 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty256 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Just a little noise mainly over rocky roads . A soft thump and also if I back up over a uneven spot . I also get a bit of noise while going slow over rough roads but I traced it down to brake pads rattling becuse if I put slight pressure on the brakes it stops.

jkeaton Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) It's probably the strut bushings....common complaint. Search this section. There's a TSB for certain years. Edited April 11, 2018 by jkeaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
