Front bushings replaced!
Just got my Cat back from my Indy (JagTechs in Austin) - had the front bushings replaced. Wow! Drives almost like new again. What a difference.
For those curious, charged about $900 for lower control arm bushings and sway bar bushings. For you DIYers, it's probably steep, but I don't own a lot of fancy tools, nor a lift nor a shop press, so I opted to go the Indy route. Most difficult DIY i've done are the brakes.
Still beats the dealer who wanted to charge me $4000 to replace the control arms since they don't replace the bushings.
Now to get my wheels fixed for a real "back to new" feel.
