Subject:      Dreaded control arm bushing syndrome?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Hi all,


Now that the weather's warmed up considerably, I think I have to rename
my van "Squeaky".  The passenger front side in particular squeaks
whenever I go over the slightest little bump.  I thought I remembered
others posting that their control arm bushing noises were worse when it
was cold?  What is the general consensus on this (if there is one)?
Does this sound like it is the control arm bushings?  If so, it doesn't
seem like an urgent thing . . . I'm having a hard time envisioning just
what would happen if they failed completely . . . .  Is it something
that can wait a while to be fixed?


Just when I'm starting to get one thing fixed, another rears its ugly
head . . .


Thanks,
Marc Perdue
'87 Westy, "Squeaky", 140K miles and counting . . .
