My mechanic says I need a new bracket for the control arm bushing (I can't remember if it's the front/back/upper/lower.) Apparently the bushing is just spinning around in there. Didn't see anything like that at FCP. Will I have to go to a junkyard?

    The question is: passenger or drivers side? Each front wheel has a Control Arm, and has a bracket that bolts into the frame for the large rear CA bushing. The rear wheels each have a trailing arm (among others) but no separate bracket.
    .
    This is a junkyard item, but get THEM to pull the bracket & bushing off the control arm. Three bolts remove the bracket, and one (18 or 19mm?) bolt on the front bushing (and a pry bar to push the CA down). Plus 3 ball-joint bolts & a sway bar end link bolt, and it's out.
    .
    My junkyard CA was frozen onto the rear bushing, and took a friend and air tools to separate. I now have a spare passenger side bracket. To be sure, check the junkyard CA rear bushing bracket isn’t spinning around too before you put down $$.

      It's the driver's side bracket for the rear control arm bushing. If you have an extra I'll gladly buy it from you. Email me at mives@qam.com.
