Replaced both control arms - '93 Metro

I had both control arms replaced in my '93 Metro, 1.0, in the last four months because of clunking sounds and loose suspension. They were due for it - being under a car for 11 years is a harsh environment to say the lease. I was going to attempt it myself, but glad I let a shop do it as both had to be cut off with a torch. I went with new ones with the hope that the car is going to last long enough to make it worthwhile ($180 from a dealer for the pass side; no choice, failed inspection - $70 for the driver side from ebay). It rides better now since most of the slop and play in the front end has been eliminated. Just wanted to share my experience.

i always think that suspension and steering is the hardest work to do for a do-it-yourselfer. glad problem is fixed

Just wanting to know, ... did you have polyurethane bushings installed?

Have no idea about the polyurethane bushings. Whatever came installed on the control arms - they did not look like anything special, got installed.
