My 2004 ARC sedan rear bushings started creaking at about 60,000 miles. I had one of the lower control arm bushings replaced - the one making the most noise - but now I have a new creaks. I believe it's more of an annoyance than anything else. My mechanic attributes the problem to our nasty Maine winters.
At this point I'm waiting till spring before I look at fixing the problem again. But it definitely takes away some of the driving enjoyment I have with this car.
I consider it a pretty hard DIY repair. The right shop, with the right tools, and experience, can perform this work pretty fast. The control arms (2 per side) run where a rear axle would be and attach to the top and bottom of the wheel hub. One of the bottom control arm bushings on my car was sticking and making noises. Not sure whats making my new noise.
