Q: Recently I had new tires put on my car and I was told my bushings need to be replaced on the front left tire
I recently took my car in to have new tires put on and a front end alignment. Upon doing the front end alignment they found that the tire rod was hanging out so I guess that they tapped it back in. Also that I need to have the LCA bushings replaced in the front left tire that it was most important.
