Thanks for the reply, I'm going to look at the bushings closer.
As for tearing apart all of the front suspension to access the control arm bushing...I've had my control arm off a few times. Just undo the the sway bar link (no need to remove the bar) undo the ball joint nut, separate the ball joint (be careful not to damage the ball joint grease boot when separating it !), undo the the control arm to subframe nut/bolts and it's off.
Not sure if an alignment is necessary or not. I'm sure there are those who would say yes some who would say no.
