[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 1014398, member: 58988"] If the lower control arms were not replaced (not required with the Moog ball joints), they are probably due (as might be the rear suspension bushings; have them inspected). Contrary to what many shops will tell you, the bushings for the lower control arm are available and can be changed retaining the lower control arm. I think they want the big bucks for the control arm (bushings are 10 to $20 each) and don't want to bother with pressing out the old and in the new bushings. The right upper control arm rear bushing on my ('01) died after 100,000 miles (control arm was wobbling). It's Moog. I think this is unusual; perhaps a defect. I'd get them again. [/QUOTE]
