Strut Bushing Question
Hey everyone. My '03 Touring with about 90k miles has developed a pretty bad squeak when going over bumps or making sharp turns in a parking lot. Took a look at it and saw that the lower bushing on the front driver-side strut is basically corroding away.
Is it possible to just replace the front strut bushings, or do I need to replace the entire strut?
If I need to replace the strut, can I just replace the shocks instead?
If I need to replace the shocks/struts, can I do just the front ones or do I need to do front and rear? Also, would I need to purchase bushings/boots/etc separately or would they come with the shocks?
Sorry for all the questions, but I know nothing whatsoever about suspension

The bushing on the lower control arm? Yes you can buy a replacement.

You will need a press. Search for the DIY guide.
Also, you can get an upgraded bushing from Z1.
