Cracked bushings
 
Just wanted to let everyone know my baby is in the shop getting her lower control arm bushings replaced. It started out sounding like I ran over a small dog when I made any turns at low speeds. I thought maybe it was the stock rubber breaking loose from the pavement...So i replaced the rubber all of the way around. So anyways it continued to bark in the turns and she is at the shop getting fixed. Oh I am also having them replace the missing exhaust manifold cover bolt seems to mysteriously disappear.

Wish me luck

Well I got my car back the next day, everything seemed fine. But guess what. It still is making the noise, although not as bad. I am taking it back in Monday morning.
