I saw another message about bushings in general.  On that subject and
these control arms, I'd like to note that there is a TSB for the 5k
and front wheel shimmys which basically states that if there is more
than about 50k on the car, REPLACE the inner bushing!  Yes, only 50k!
If less than 50k, I think you are supposed to inspect it.  I'll bet
bushings plus labor cost more than $100 at the dealer... It's only
3 nuts/bolts to replace these control arms.
