Upper Control Arm Bushings
So i went off roading with my buddy and afterwards, i noticed a loud pop from the front end of the truck when turning sharp left or right. I found out it was the upper control arm bushings popping out that makes the noise. I just replaced the control arms and bushings with new parts a few months ago. Any ideas other than calling the place i bought them?

the bushings are pushed in on each end a given distance so the overall width will fit into the opening on the frame. The two mounting bolts are installed to hold everything together. How does the bushing get out of the frame with the bolts installed and mounted into the frame ?

THe bushings PRESS into the arm holes. They sould not move easily. I would thing you wouldl have to slam into something pretty hard to make it move. It surely does not move on its own under normal operation. I would say you need a new A arm unit.

Okay, thank you for your advice. I already contacted the seller of the arms and they want $47 (which is shipping costs) to send me replacements. Ima do that instead of buying new ones.
