The bushing is definitely your problem. I'm just saying that it's nice to have the replaceable ball joint because those do go out too. So you eventually could be looking at replacing the whole arm again for another worn out part in the future.

It's a real pain to replace the bushing, but if your feeling industrious, Powerflex does make a replacement bushing, for $93 for both sides.
