What? The shop couldn't do the bushing cause they were "so" worn? The more
worn the more they need to be replaced I would think.
I have seen the lower bushings require cutting out and sometimes weld repair
there and many times have to do welding work at the radius rod mounts.

Good point Stuart - I guess I should have mentioned that I've already gone
that route. I knew the upper control arm bushings were worn because of the
tell tale squeeking - however when I took the bus to a trusted shop for a
front end alignment and they told me they couldn't do it because the
bushings were so worn - well that's what started this journey. I'm starting
to eat through front DS tires because my alignment is so off.
