the bushing is bad but it's not completely torn so I'll probably not need adjustment. I will also check the inboard bushing on the LCA. If I'll be in the neighborhood I might stop by...

What else should I be replacing?
I do have fairly new shocks and springs, sway bars and drop links.
I checked the tie rods and no play there.

I think I'm pretty covered right?

Tomorrow I'm going to replace my O2 sensors and while I have the car on the lift I'll have a good poke around and see if I can confirm the LCAs are bad. I'll report back.

Thanks to all for the...

I'm getting there in terms of refreshing the suspension :)
LCA and tie rods are about the only original parts on the car.

Excellent tip thank you! I'll check the bushings and report back.
