Control arm bush.......
Now the weather is warming up, I noticed when going over speed bumps there's a hint of a creak from the NSF suspension. Having had a look and moving all the gubbins with a pry bar the only thing that I could get to squeak was the big bush on the control arm. There was no movement present but obviously since it's the original one it is probably getting past it's best. I notice afore mentioned bush is available separately at a significantly lower price than the arm. What are the chances of the arm coming off from the ball joint end? Anyone done just a bush swap? Or do I just assume the arm is 17 years old and bite the bullet?
