Unhappy Front Control Arm Bushing

Notice a slapping noise under my car everytime i hit a bump or two, jacked the car up and noticed that the bolt holding the LCA in the front passenger side of my car was not lined up in the whole or centered, looks like theres a bushing behind this? how do i change it and is this most likely causing what im hearing ???

If you have any kind of play in the bushing then yes you need another one. You have to press the old bushing out and press the new one in. I would shake down the whole suspension and make sure that is what it is.

i just put brand new springs and shocks in the car, do they have to come out in order to get that bushing out?

If it is indeed the lower control arm (lower A-arm) then no you wont have to. Let me know if you want me to guide you thru it and I can post that info up.
