my mechanic told me I need a bushing replaced on the front driver side. He said if i dont do it soon i will need to replace part of the frame in the front. i hear noise sometimes when I turn the wheel (somewhere between a clunking and a grinding sound.) which might be related.

any help on the exact name of the part would be wonderful. i called the ford dealership and they had no idea!

thanks much!

It's either the upper or lower control arm bushing...2 on each arm!
