Are you referring to the leading or trailing end CABs? I had my trailing CABs go, and it ended up being better for me to just press out the old ones and replace with the heavier duty Powell ones.

I get a really bad clunk all the time. its only audible if im driving slow. I also get a clunk when I stop or accelerate.
There is also a CAB Test, if you turn your wheel and kick it it shouldn't move. well mine moves like 2-3 inches. CABs are toast.
I was honestly unaware there is more than 1. I figured the ones OTTP sells were the "bushings" but I don't care much for OTTP and they say out of stock anyway.

Here is a set of control arms, the left and right in this picture being the driver side and passenger side respectively, with the top being the front of the car. In this picture you can see the leading CABs on the insides and trailing CABs at the bottom.

Yep, replaced with Moog endlinks a few months ago.
Ah that makes sense, then yes the trailing CAB is what im referring to
Yep. Usually people on here are referring to the trailing spherical ones.

The moog ones can come loose...double check them. Otherwise ya see if you can look at your CAB's, they usually tear and make some noise, but I thought the stock ones would last a while..unless you beat on your car..then I can easily see that being the reason, hahah.

ok I will get under there and re torque them before I buy new CABs. I dont beat on my car on the day to day, and have only went to the track 1 time since ive owned it. but i bought it used with 53k miles so i dont know what the previous owner did.

no problem so far.
it was on my 2,2 ion for 130k km. i put just on driver side to test it on my tc.
i can understand you want sell part. but that was just my opinion about control arm bushing.
