On one of my recent visits to a local tire/wheel shop for a "free check", they pointed out that one of my control arm bushings is going bad in the front driver's side wheel. It was either the one that bolt #5, or #7, goes through in this diagram.
It's basically running and driving fine, but it sometimes seems like it has a funny response when steering. I'm wondering what can happen if it breaks down completely? I see some prothane control arm bushing kits on Ebay for ~$50. Is this a tough replacement to do? And I guess I'll have to get a complete 4-wheel alignment if I replace these?
