check ball joints and shock bushings... Posted by Saabu [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Upper control arm bushings, Bill Driver, Tue, 3 Jul 2007 16:00:17 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
and believe me if you can solve the problem without touching the UCA bushings, you are better off. not only are they hard to get out of the engine bay, just try and insert a new one!!!! word to the wise - buy 8 to do 4.
Your problem sounds more like ball joints or a worn shock bushing. Did you check those components?
the other thing is, check the pass side UCA bushings for wear - can you visibly see they are worn out? they typically dont.
What typically happens is the metal sleeve inside the bushing seizes to the shaft of the UCA, so the shocks can t do their job. So, if you are keen you could take the front spring out, work the UCA up and down, and if seized you could inject penetrant and work them loose, and work some grease into them and leave it at that. You will notice a better ride over rough roads.
