Gary, I'm replacing the bushings because the eccentric adjuster(washer)is 
rubbing on the outer edge of the bushing itself. The Bentley says that that is 
an indication of bushings worn to their limit. I can also physically move the 
control arm side to side in a horizontal plane. Tom C.

Tom:

        Are you replacing the bushings because of the terrible squeaking
when you go over a bump?
