Default Control Arm Bushings

Anyone ever have their control arm bushings go bad? What are the symptoms? I have a shake at 65+ and for lack of better description, a single "clunk" sound when turning. You can feel the shake in the front end(mainly drivers side), but not in the steering wheel

Everything in the front end is new(except the control arm bushings). New shocks,panhard rod bushings, all 4 steering rod ends, aligned, tires re-balanced, rebuilt swivel *****(replaced everything except lower swivel pin), wheel bearings.

I'm gonna try them being how cheap they are and that not being the only thing done. I've almost begun to wonder if the problem might be in the swivel ball or spindle.

you feel it in the floorboard?

I was freaking out over this. I dont care if something makes a noise I just want to know what it is. Found my drivers side rear bolt loose and tightened it. It went away FOR SURE, BUT NOW ITS BACK. And now I understand why.

Let me know where you get yours from. I seen them priced VERY differntly including somevery cheap ones on amazon.

I usually order from http://www.rovahfarm.com/, he ships flat rate priority mail. For where I live, that means if I order today(tues), I have my parts in hand thursday. And their only $6.25/ea
