Lower control arm rubber bushing
I was inspecting the LCA and the front part that goes into the cross member has a little rubber disk like piece which looks like it has shrunk a bit and I can rotate it around.
Does that mean the LCA needs to be replaced however the ball joint which I understand is most important looked good.

Hi i am still not well versed with the control arms on these cars...
What I understand is the ball joint has not viable replacement and if that's gone I need a new LCA,
but are you saying the other (2) bushing? towards the center of the car can be replaced with poly or whatever, as long as it is pre-97
I am somewhat interested in this and replace the ball joint boot I understand there is a moog boot that sort of fits ok..

The 2 bushings can be replaced for sure if you have a 92-96 LCA.
There is no 97+ LCA bushing that is both a confirmed and generally accepted option.
I believe someone found a Energy suspension universal polyurethane ball joint boot that fits.
