2001 vanden Plau with 54K miles. Forgot to mention the left front upper control arm is bent to the tune of 1000 dollors. Would any of you reccomend a used control arm eith new bushings and ball joint?

check with Gaudin Jaguar and our other sponsor Nalley Jaguar, I bought new front, lower control arms for $250 each, with new bushings.

Just checked Gaudin Jaguar's interactive website, and upper a-arm is only $250 each, and yes, comes with the bushings and ball joint in it.

Thank you for the input on Goudin Jaguar, I will look into it. I have been getting advice not to do anything about the upper control arm since the camber is only out -0.67 and the old tires I took off were not wearing unevenly. The car does drift slightly right when you take your hands off the wheel. Would packing that spring help? Any input would help.
