Ok, what else can I replace........
 

So I've now replaced the following for my front suspension.

Front Suspension Strut
Front Strut Mount
Front Strut Bearing
Both Front Control Arms
Both Front Tension Arms
Left and Right Ball Joints

I just did the front struts, mounts and bearings because of recent slapping in the front end.

Its better but something sounds like its still loose (when going over bumps)

What else can I replace.

Thrust Arm Bushing??

Yeah, I saw that threat. That's next I guess....


Here's a crazy one, looks like my steering rack might be leaking too. Dang thing was just replaced about a year ago (6k miles). Crazy......

wife or girlfriend? ;)

All Natural ;) No leaky......

Just came back from driving again, question for you all. Even if you were going straight would the thrust arms still make noise. I seem to notice it both when turning and going straight over bumps that is.

Wait, is the thrust arm and the control arm the same? If so I just had this replaced about 6 months ago. I'm confused......

I'm looking at my old bill, they don't list part numbers for the control arms meaning they may have used non OEM parts. Also, I don't see anything in there about the bushing being replaced. Do the bushings come WITH the control arms or are they seperate????????????

Why do I feel like I'm getting screwed here.......
