Control Arm Bushing?

[1slowdsm]

Car: 1993 Talon TSI awd

I just had my passenger lowering control arm replaced with a used one. Now when I take left turns it'll start to clunk. You can move that side tire way more than you can with any other tire. It sways back and forth like its loose. I can see the back bushing (furthest from front of vehicle) moving like the bushing is too small. Anyone ever tried replacing one before? I should probably do it before it gets any colder (if its not too hard).

I have a set of polyurethane bushings that have never been used. If you are interested I will sell them to you for what I paid or I'm open to trades. PM me if you are interested.

The lower control arm (part that goes in the bushing) over time starts to lose diameter from rust, and the bushing gets hard and worn-out, not something you want to see on the dyno moving around like I did. I put in some used ones that had low mileage on them.

I went to Kline Mitsu and there arent any Mitsubishi Dealers that sell the bushing.

You mean to sell me the whole polyurethane kit or just what I need? I dont think I can afford anything right now. Way too many things need to be repaired on my car first.

I have the whole set for the lower control arms for each side. What are you looking to spend? Maybe we can do cash and a trade if you have anything.

Arent there only like 3 bushings per lower control arm for the driver and passenger side? How much do you want to sell them for? Right now I have almost No money to spend and the only thing I have that valuable is a 22 spline T-case. I think its a 22 spline, I'm not sure but I'll go check later.

The one I have only has two for each side it is from extreme motor sports. Check http://store.extrememotorsports.com/browse.cfm/4,344.htm If you need one of the two I will just give it to you.

Yeah I just need one so far. Wait...how many bushings are on one arm? If there are two, then I might need both. If one is worn out then the other on the same arm must be worn out also. I'll go check at work in an hour or so.

(edit)I only need one bushing on the passenger side control arm. The Driver's side is still good, it's still pretty much brand new.

Has anyone ever changed the bushings on the any of the front lower control arms? Would I need a special tool to pry the bushing out or does it just slip out. I havent had the chance to lift my car and take off the arm yet so I dont know how it's on.

Yea its fun getting the piece that bolts over the bushing to thread the bolt back in :)

I would make sure that that is the real problem... It sounds to me like a ball joint is loose but it could be either. Usually a clunk when turning is a ball joint.
