wife's car

[topher5150]

The wife took her car in today to get the alignment checked out, he said that the back struts were pissing oil, and the front control arm bushings were shot. So I did some surfing on the parts sites and wanted to know should i just put new bushings on the old arms, or should I just put all new control arms on

What kind of car? What year?

Replace the whole arm, dirt cheap parts and that arm if stock is 16 years old. Plus it's easier to pull old arm out and put new one in then taking the old one, cleaning it up and getting the bushings replaced

Ok cool...next question (it's not a tire place) but he said that he would not be able to do an alignment until we got new tires

How old are the tires?

How old are the tires?

Put a used tire in the front, the other one blew up, other than that not sure. They don't look horrible. I just want to get it safe enough to drive to last us the winter so we can get her a new one.
