How would this effect my ride? Recommendation from Baron, "Replace both front lower control arm bushing(s)". I just had new rear pads and rotors installed and the tires rotated. My car has some vibration and feels and sounds like a truck with monster mud tires (slight exaggeration). Feels like I'm driving on an old chip and seal road. KC Autosports did say my front rotors kind of need replacing but the pads were fine and i could probably wait, so I am. Suggestions, comments?

I'd use polyflex bushings, they'll last forever.....

Way Motor Works sells them pre-pressed with a core deposit as well

How difficult are these to change? Or should I even ask?

Ksminiman did mine for me. I would ask Dave. It might be easy enough for a garage day but I don't know.

Dropping the subframe is the easiest way, but some have developed a tool that lets you do them in the car - Georges Imports can do them for you that way....call them and get a quote?

Thanks guys for the info!

Dave, Is this George's imports that specializes in SAAB?

Yes, tell 'em I sent you, they'll take good care of you. They're in Martin City now....505 East 135th Street, Kansas City, MO 64145

George's has done several major tasks on Luna and done wonderful work. I know they saved me some money and a lot of headache.

I finally got my lower control arm bushings replaced with poly at George's imports. Thanks, Dave, for the recommendation! They were super nice!

Good deal, can you feel the difference?

Yeah. Tightened up the steering.
