Bad Bushing???

[Flamewinger]

Got a video of what I think is a bad bushing in the rear mount of the upper A arm on the left side. Getting new shocks soon and I'll have the dealer check it out and replace parts if needed. It's a 2013 ST-L

What do you think?

Yikes..!!

that seems to be beyond bad. What about the rest..?? Strange that it has worn out like that. They will have to be replaced. I would do them all. One bad one put a load on the rest...:thumbup:

The rest are solid. But I'll have them check the others when they fix this. Thx

That is a lot of play.

Will the 2014 self lubricating bushings fit the 2013 control arms?

This has come up before. A set of bushings will wear out early and the rest will be fine. I don't recall anyone coming up with a good explanation as to why.

There was a discussion maybe about a year ago on if the 2014 bushings would fit in a 2013 or earlier models. My memory is fading but I think it was determined that they would not. Not sure if someone actually tried. Any volunteers.
