Suspension problems...

I have a 92 Camry that has a terrible rattling problem in the back end. I had all sorts of noise comming from back there and have already replaced both struts, both strut mounts, sway bar bushings, sway bar links, and one wheel bearing! So nearly everything is new. All the common problems have been eliminated.

I have a tiny amount of "side to side" play in both wheels. The outside control arm bushings in the front arm seem like they are starting to wear. What do I do now?

Some people have told me I need to buy the whole arm, is this true? Assuming I do get the arms, what are the chances of me actually getting the bolts out to replace them? Please help me out. Thanks!

Mark

its a mystery with these cars - mine clunks like its going out of style.

I know you have to buy the whole control arm from toyota to fix that bushing, and its 160 CAD - I had to do one of mine last summer

and do a search for suspension noises, it's been talked about before.
