I believe you are correct about age and bushings, they could go bad just
sitting around. Thing is, I get the sound/vibration when the car is
spinning it's tires on jackstands, so there should be no loading on the
bushings whatsoever...
Thanks for the suggestions though (I'm sure I need bushings too :) ).
