Lower control arms changed.
Took about an hour, swapped out both lower control arms due to bad bushings on the ssei. Right front was real bad. I can almost push the white center section of the bushing out of the old arm. I was really suprised that after 160,000 miles that both ball joints were just as tight as the new replacements. Rock Auto had the arms for $75ish each for Dormans. Much cheaper than what GM parts direct wanted or even Napa. Didn't have time to road test as I finished up around 8:30 this evening as I have a 400ish mile round trip tomorrow. Felt tighter just backing out of the garage.

Hows it feel? Oh my.... Much different, in a good way. Amazing. Steering, handling and the light noise I could here in the front end after coming to a complete stop, than starting off. Is gone. Front end feels very tight now. Put over 400 miles and 8 hours on her yesterday.
