87K miles, one was replaced by previous owner at 80K and they replaced the other along with uppers. I asked them to look at both upper, lower, and ball joints. The Indy said he wouldn't replace the low CA yet.

- What was cracked on the lowers? Inner bushings? - Econguy 2014-12-17 07:40:29 (163 views)
  - Yup, inner bushings - utchuckles 2014-12-17 10:43:43 (167 views)
    - Should be about 40 bucks in parts to fix. - Econguy 2014-12-17 10:53:55 (148 views)
      - the joints are however shot most of times anyway, or at least move way too freely to last.  -  julex  2014-12-17 13:04:25 (135 views)

        I know mine were shot at 140k... both joints and bushings.   -  julex  2014-12-17 14:06:49 (153 views)
        
        Pressed new inner bushings at about 150k   -  Econguy  2014-12-17 15:37:40 (114 views)
  - I'd remove the bolts and "slather", but not without supporting the car, removing the wheels. - Kneale Brownson 2014-12-17 08:10:23 (135 views)
    - Indeed. As soon as you remove that pinch bolt, the upright is going to want to move inward... - silva 2014-12-17 09:34:03 (180 views)
      - Agreed. I was considering a drift, but again I'm NOT recommending this. - Econguy 2014-12-17 09:41:32 (168 views)
