So it didn't end up being a compression rod?

 

No, my buddy checked it for me and I thought that was what he said.. On Saturday when I was changing my oil I looked for myself and said fukk I ordered the wrong one.. lol I got the compression rod bushings today and the lower control arm bushings come in tomorrow so I guess I will just do both.. lol

 

Thanks Blue Dream...
Unfortunately or fortunately, I have it at the shop for the replacement....gotta get it done because it was causing way too much noise and didnt want to take a chance and make other things worse....

 

My compression rod bushings were toast, went ahead and ordered whiteline for the whole front.

 

Sooo....$800 later.......Front passenger side lower suspension replaced, ($550), alignment ($120), plus taxes....everything is all good to go....

Here are the pricier part numbers to what was replaced....

54500-1NA4B (lower link) ($300), 55044-EG01A, 54550-EG00A, 54580-EG00A, 40262-EG010 ($24), 40173-EG000, 39241-CG027($60), etc...etc...

My car is back to being like new.....now I am wondering where can I find a recommended shop to take my ride in for future tune-ups near Montréal, Canada? Any suggestions as to where to look in this forum?

Thanks again to everyone who have provided their suggestions and thoughts.
