That is funny what they say about you not being able to perceive it because you drive it everyday. That position does hold water to an extent. If you drive the car everyday you are in tune with it and if something changes you are the first guy to notice it. On the other hand if it changes slowly over time you may just think it is normal. You know the old story about cooking frogs, they jump right out of the boiling water but if you roll the heat on slowly you cook him everytime.

There are two solid ways to test those bushings. With the car rolling along at about 5 miles an hour tap on the brakes. Just stab the real quick and let off, do this 5-6 times in a row and see if you notice a slamming sensation in the front end. The other way is to put it up in the air with the suspension hanging free and take the front of the tire/wheel assembly and give it a good push. You can actually give it a push pull and if the bushing is bad you will be able to see the lower control arm moving in and out around the strut rod bushing.
