So...do I need upper AND lower bushings? Or just upper?

[kcramp858]

I went around and took pictures of my front suspension...There were some cracked bushings and some utterly destroyed bushings. Both sides had a full replacement done in 2009, just to give you guys a reference as to what I am dealing with.

Anyways, my question is -- Do I need to replace the lowers? They don't look so bad, but I am not sure what they are supposed to look like. Also, the bushing on the bottom of the shocks and on the sway bar have slight cracks. Does this matter?

Also, in the last picture, I believe that is called the Pittman arm? Mine has broken before, is there some lubrication procedure that I may have missed?

Your uppers are definitely gone.

Hahah -- Yeah I can tell. Looks like the newbie mistake of tightening down then lowering the car.

What about the lowers, though?

the lowers look pretty good to me.
