Hi folks. Looking for advice to counter the local indy. My car has a slight pulling to the left even after alignment and the outside left front tire is severely worn with the inside of the right tire worn. There is also the familiar brake shimmy and occasional tramlining on uneven roads. The mechanic showed me the front lower control arm bushing had cracks in them. The one on the left (drive side) could easily be seen while the one on the right was not that visible. He said both should be changed. My question is, after searching this site, the "thrust" arm bushings should be the culprit. I don't think we looked at the thrust arm bushing, I believe that is the smaller of the arms. I do believe he pointed to the larger arm and called it the lower control arm which he said would need to be replaced. We've ordered both left and right. Can someone comment as this forum speaks of "thrust arm bushings" while the mechanic ordered "front lower control arms." I have searched the site and read many posts, but I am not mechanically inclined and don't really know the difference.
Thanks in advance.
