I just noticed last month the driver side rear wheel suspension control arm in leaking oil, now the passenger side is leaking too. What part is this coming from .. See pics.

Are these parts easy to replace?

Thanks

 

i cant think of anything back there that actually contains oil.....grease maybe....but not oil

 

It's almost like 90w oil...thick, clear, and tacky..

 

is it just spraying back from somewhere up front?

 

I think those bushings are filled with hydraulic fluid, i remember reading a thread here somewhere on replacing the center one in the rear and there fluid filled, search abit and maybe you could find that thread.

 

something is leaking.. looks like oil.

 

Both sides are leaking from the same place. The brake lines are dry. Ut's those black plastic housing.. They must be filled will heavy weighted oil.

 

There is another thread i was reading reffering to this, check this one, its abit more detailed on that issue.

the rear control arm bushings are filled with fluid, odd that theyd both go at the same time. and theyre not the easiest to replace, but es bushing replacements are rather inexpensive, and an awesome upgrade imo.

i had mine replaced by a fellow org member and he sadi it was a total bi+ch, but if its gotta get doen, what can ya do.

 

Yep. Definitely the bushings. My driver's side started leaking last year. I thought initially it was the brake line as I had both rotors and pads replaced the week before. Anyway, never bothered to replace the bushings and haven't really noticed any difference in the ride. Mind you, I tend to drive at a more sedate pace now that I have kids
