I was assuming in my previous posts that all front end parts were in
good repair. Doug is correct. Out of fairness, when I replaced my a-arm
bushes, it was more for experiementation than need, but since it has
been 30k + since the last alignment... I guess they work... Wink.

A-arms in poor condition will move around under pressure. The PU bushes
do make things very nice up front.
