Yep fluid in the thrust arm bushings. I installed my polyurethane bushing thrust arms today. Passenger side was a piece of cake, driver side required the removal of the inner fender well to remove the air duct for the alternator so that the long bolt at the sub frame could be removed. I also removed the tie rod ball joint so that my ball joint separator could fit the ball joint at the thrust arm. Took less than a minute to pop that ball joint off the thrust arm.
Tool casualty for the job, lost my 19mm impact socket when it rolled down the driveway and into the sewer, and my 21mm wrench when I snapped the jaw off it while trying to remove it once the thrust arm was torque downed.
