Steering is starting to feel loose at 99k miles, which bushings should I replace?
 

I had the dealer replace my thrust arm bushings about 5k miles ago, but the steering is still starting to feel loose and I am having a "click" through the steering wheel that leads me to believe some bushings are worn out. I was going to replace with the following:

Febi LCAs (rear position only)
Febi ball joints
OE sway bar end-links

All these parts from ECS are running me >$350 which is pretty reasonable IMO. Anything else I should do while it's being done? Any idea what this will cost me to get done at an indy (I live in the city with no access to tools)?

Thanks,

About your mileage I think you need to do front control arm bushes and upper control arm bushes. Mine is due for it now with 117000 kms.

And here are the parts numbers;

If they start to fail, you get a bit of a clunk over curbs speed bumps etc, and also a bit of shudder under brakes due to the failing of the front or larger bushes especially.

Hope it helps.

We have them HERE, they tend to deteriorate over time. Being that you are at 100,00 miles, this should tighten up the steering suspension.
