Same thing here, was my lower control arms. The easiest way is to unbolt and grease them up. Or go the expensive route like I did and get new UMI tubular control arms with grease fittings :lol:

after your post and much searching, i believe it may be bushing related. i've never even touched a suspension part so can i just jack the car up and unscrew the LCA's or is it under tension?
