Does anyone know where I can pick up some front lower control arm bushings from? I see the rear ones all over ebay but no one seems to carry them for the front. Is there a part number or alternative I can use? I have this deep thud when I apply the breaks hard in the right side. A friend of mine (works for MTA) watched the front right tire as i slammed on the brake, turns out the whole wheel shifts forward on its own.

On another note, every time I go over a bump, there is a horrible squeak on all four sides of the car and sounds like metal on metal action. Time for new strut mounts maybe?
 
I have not seen the bushings only sold separately only with the whole control arm. Maybe others on the site might know if you can. A lot of knowledgeable people here. They run about $105 on Parts Geek or RockAuto. Not sure why you can get them for the rears but i did notice that the rear arms run over twice the price of the front arms so that might be the reason. Needless to say I am expecting do do all my front suspension parts first then tackle the rears later maybe in 6 months

I hear you on that one buddy. I'm sure my rears are just as bad as my fronts. I went through 3 drivers side ball joints before I decided to go with Raybestos brand. A month after I finished with the drivers side, the passenger side just popped without warning. It is my fault though for not giving the suspension parts more thought than the rest of the car.
