Is there a way to tell what kind of condition your a-arm mounts are in?
I had been pressed for time recently, so had a front bearing changed at a shop. They also told me that my a-arm bushings are completely shot. I did believe this because the car does pull hard to the right (even after an alignment, and being within spec), and I notice a clicking/popping when steering at low speeds. Well, I was finally able to crawl under there and visually inspect the mounts - they all look fine
I mean, all were in there, looked in very good condition, and weren't warped, cracked, or stressed. They felt ok, pressing with a screw driver - not hardened or anything. I also have a Spohn k-member when I had the new engine put in January 2008, so I would assume the installer wouldn't re-use bad bushings on the a-arms.
I was about to purchase Spohn a-arms, but considering the condition of my current bushings, I'm not sure what to do. Is there a way to check on this, upper and lower a-arms? Thanks in advance.
