I replaced the ball joints, control arm bushings and got it aligned. The car wanders a bit. Only on drivers side. New tires too. Michelin.

I think the bushing on the strut rod end that attaches to the undercarriage is worn out. Can the bushing be pressed out and replaced or is the entire arm replaced?

I found a new one for $115 and a used one for $30. Anything I need to be aware of?

I may have ruined the old one years ago when I learned later that you have to torque the fasteners with a load on the suspension.

The bushing actually looks a little messed up compared to the passenger side, which doesn't have this problem. Do these fail?

The 1993 has the aluminium control arm.
