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.

Bejesus man... How good do you think stock shocks that are almost 14 years old with 90k miles of use are?

You can replace the bushing.
