....From what I've seen working in an auto parts store years ago, where we have a shop, control arm bushings can wear, but it is more common on trucks and less common on sedans, so chances are your control arm bushings should be fine. In my three years selling parts, I have only sold control arm bushings to one customer with a Ford Ranger.

- Thanks, then I won't bother buying new control arms, and rather just buy the ball joints as planned. n/m Bryan (91 SE, 92 SE) 17:05:21 7/02/2002 (0)
