So it sounds like I need to replace the inner rear lower control arm bushing for my driver side. I thought it was my sway bar end links. I guess I might as well replace all four lower control arm bushings.

I was looking for maybe a polyurethane replacement to make it last longer, but the ones that I’ve found are solid, which doesn’t have the groove like the OEM to make it more flexible.

Should I stick with the OEM style?

What kind of noise is it making?

It creaks and clunks over bumps.

Found a video of how to replace the bushings. At about 5:48 he demonstrates the creaking noise I was talking about.

Also, I found a polyurethane OEM version:

Should I get this instead of the solid one?

if you dont mind squeaking and creaks go poly, you can put all the lube ypu want on those, they still will make noise, they work fantastic though

Oh, I didn’t know that. I don’t want the squeaks and creaks, that’s why I want to replace the bushing to get rid of the noise. I’ll go OEM then, thanks for the info. :thumbsup:
