I need to do a pair of rear lower control arm bushings. I haven't checked them yet, but I've been down that road enough to be able to tell by the sound the front end makes going over bumps that it's time.
Anyway, over the many years I've dealt with this job, I have always replaced BOTH front and rear control arm bushings when I needed rear ones. The rears are always obviously worn out, but the dozens of times I've had them in my hands, I never remember any front bushings appearing to be worn out.
I guess you can see where this is headed. More than once I have read on this forum of guys saying that the front bushings last forever. I know THAT's not true, but, trying to make quick work of the bushing job, I am thinking of just doing the rear control arm bushings if the fronts APPEAR to be good.
The subject car is a '93 Wagon with 145 Kmi.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, one and all,
Rich
