A worn bushing can show up as a clunk over bumps, steering that feels loose or uneven tire wear. Before you replace it, look at the arm and bushing with the engine off for cracks, tears or movement, because a worn ball joint or another suspension part can produce similar noises. The front axle takes two bushings, one on each side. This listing is one bushing, and both sides are normally replaced together.
