[QUOTE="stephen, post: 76348, member: 120"] there is the ball joint that comes together with the lower control arm where the whole thing needs to be changed or just the rear bush .... see attached picture. When they removed the rubber ori bush, to my surprise they say it is still ok .... even when my mielage indicates 55k kms. It really depends how you drive. If you do a lot of stop-start traffic jam and sudden braking, it increase pressure on the bush and wear it out faster. :( as the saying goes, if it aint broken, dont fix it .... now i wonder whether my new Powerflex bush will be ok and will not be like the same problem case i mentioned above. Fingers crossed! [/QUOTE]
