I've been searching this site for help with same issue, 105,000 on the clock, both front tension struts replaced 8 years ago. Now some play in the left control arm- according to the dealer that just replaced my rear brake lines due to a major leak. Appears there is some confusion with terminology, my understanding is the arm forward of the hub is the tension strut, it has a big curve to accommodate the axle, the control arm is rearward of the hub and is fairly straight. Both have bushings and appears when you buy either arm, the bushing is already pressed into the arm- addressing the issues with some of the other postings about using a press to replace the bushing. The only challenging part appears to be removing the bushing from the suspension knuckle, most postings and YouTube videos say a tap with a hammer and a prybar should free it. I've never done it before, would like to try it, and wondering if any of those experienced in doing this have any comments or corrections to what I've said?
