Front Suspension Bushings
Hi All…
Noticed a clunking noise in my front end when turning lock to lock almost. Feels like it’s under my right foot, lower control arm linkage ?
Bushings look original and old with signs of cracking around the outer edges.
Got a pry bar up there and there’s movement, nothing what I’d call drastic, but honestly it’s the first time I’ve ever really gone searching for the culprit noise/movement in bushings.
So was thinking of replacing them anyways however herein lies my question/s ?
After having a look on EBay, the search brings up bushings, oem controls arms and after market control arms.
My XJ is stock, it’s my work car/daily driver and tows our boat. Obviously buying bushings only will be cheaper, however easier to purchase the complete arm. So if I went complete arm replacement, what’s the benefits of purchasing the after market tubular/adjustable ones over the Oem ones ?.
And has anyone else had this issue of the noise ?
Regards Rob
