-   -   420 SEL: '88 (126): replacing control-arm bushings (http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=18619)

I have noticed that my ride is getting up-to-par, but that there is till too much road feel even with tires at moderate pressure.

I looked at my control arm rubber bushings. They feel a bit dry, and I suspect that lubricating or replacing them would make a difference as to cushioning the road feel a bit.

Can I get the new bushings in without tearing apart the entire control arm unit? If so, please advise how.

Also: would greasing properly or something similar, or just tightening make a differece? Before answering, be aware that I just replaced the two tie rods (lowere) - which helped-out in other regards.

An answer here would be most appreciated. Thanks...
