My right lower control arm has got some play in it. The indie mechanic who had it up in the air recently on another issue, recommended a whole new control arm (of course !). Left side seems snug.

How can I tell whether the whole arm has to go, or whether simply putting new bushings in it would do ? I haven't measured the play, but it doesn't seem excessive.

Gone but not forgotten:
'89 744/'80 242GT (Bertone Red !)
