This sounds like upper control arm bushings. $24.95 each. They tend to start squeaking long before they get to the "must-replace" point, so while an inspection for excessive wear or separation may be in order, the odds are this is the kind of thing you can put off if you so desire. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot http://www.busdepot.com |
