The front control arms, their bushings and ball joints are failing. My car only has 125k miles on it, but it drifts and bounces around as if there is no struts at all. It is very scary to drive, it feels like something terrible is about to happen like a wheel snapping off and causing accident. I took it to several mechanics. They say it will cost $1,700k to replace one control arm! $3,400k for both. The rubber bushings are completely deteriorated due to the rubber being bad. (my dashboard is also melting, and the rubber weather stripping on all of the doors/windows).
