I assume this means the bushings are shot ?? It makes a snap noise now when braking and releasing the brake at low speed...

This is with the Buick jacked up and applying the brake

so that deff shows the bushings are ?? And this is the metal on metal clunk and thud I feel when hitting the brake hard at low speed and letting off the brake ?

I ordered BOTH lower arms...they come complete with bushings and balljoint for 54.00...Dorman brand...should be here Thursday...just wanted to be sure they are shot BEFORE I replace

well I changed both sides today and it turns out the drivers side ( the one in the video ) was the better of the two !! The passenger side was almost in 2 pcs....car rides much smoother, no more bang and a hard shift I have had for months when downshifting from 4th to 3rd is GONE !

Go it alinged today too... The job is super easy...40 minutes both sides with air tools and it was done...
