do you have any oil leaks?
I've seen oil leaks destroy the forward bushings before.
get a set of energy suspension bushings and have your mechanic install them in your existing arms.

get ES bushings and then go take off the LCAs and bring em to a shop. it'll be a HELL of alot cheaper that way.

yes id do on the passenger side, drivers side is ok. and the stealership is saying the rear bushings on drivers side are torn/ripped. passenger side is soaked with oil power steering fluid. i am so fawking sick of fixing this fawking car i could puke, seriously. i tried to get a new car but the banks arent lending unless your credit is perfect. goddamnit!!!!!

unless you repair the leak you will eat through any rubber bushing you put in there.
The polyurethane bushing will survive the fluid though.
