Exclamation Helllpppppppppppp!!!!.....

WHEN I GO OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT I GET A LOT OF HARSH FEEDBACK FROM THE WHEELS TO THE STEERING, LEFT AND RIGHT.
WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP(CANADA) AND THEY TOLD, ACTUALLY SHOWED ME THAT THE BUSHING( THE RUBBER PART) FROM THE CONTROL ARM IS KINDA CRACKED AND BECAUSE THE CAR IS QUITE HEAVY IT GIVES THAT PULL FELLING ON UNEVEN ROAD. THEY MIGHT BE RIGHT BUT WHAT PUZZLES ME IS THAT THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE LOWER CONTROL ARM CLOSE TO 1000$ WITH LABOR AND TAX!!! THIS IS FOR A AT 2004 TL

WHY CAN THEY CHANGE THE BUSHING ONLY!!????????????????

Stop yelling with the caps!
How many miles, CPO?
There was a thread a while back speaking of the control arm bushings that crack but don't present a driveability problem. In a hurry and couldn't locate the thread at this time, but try the search as the techs stated that most will show a crack, but no problem.
Make certain proper air pressure and tires are wearing evenly across the tread.

Also, read the following:

most of us have this problem, but the problem your having is probably a screwed up alignment and need correct tire pressure and balanicing done, immeiately. The dealer will change it and it will look the same in 2 months again. Those bushings look the same way at 100k+ miles and do not affect driving at all.

Replace the bushing with upgraded neoprene bushings. They are a vast improvement over the OEM bushings. I definitly WOULD NOT change out the other stuff they have recommended until you see if the issue remains after you have put in new bushings. You may be able to do the bushings yourself.
