All so.......... found the inner control arm bushing for under $14each for Lemforter with ia the highest quality u can buy. So if u can spend a few extra dollars i'd order the Lemforter ones which I found at www.autohausaz.com

I think no matter were u order the inner control arm bushing it's not going to cost u more than 10 bucks. 
The strut mount is another thing. From what i've seen there are two strut mounts. One for UFO strut housings and one for G-60 housings.
 I have only found reference to the later G-60 housings.
 Can anyone confirm two different mounts?
 From my foggy recollection the hole for the G-60 housings is wider than the UFO housings

Well the lower bushing is shot but the strut mount may have been weakend by the bigger wheel and tire combo. So the way i see it is if it's not one, there's a good chance it's the other.

So the control arm inner bushing was the problem or the strut mount...... or a combination of both or?
