Control arm bushings, rattling sound Options

[Maxtumare]

I have been hearing this rattling sound coming from both wheels. I have been told that perhaps this sound is coming from a problem with my bushings but after a quick inspection they don't seem to be the problem. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be? Take into account that my suspension in the front is shot

What kind of rattle noise? And which two wheels, are we talking both front, both rears, one side vs the other?

Front two tires but I found the problem just now. Also found out where all my oil has been going...... at least now I can fix the problem.

so the problem is that the control arm bushings are gone and I can't find anywhere I can buy them. I've been looking around online and can't find them. I checked with the dealer and all they will sell me is the whole control arm. Any idea where I can get these bushings?

yeah I just noticed it is the lower ball joint which is messed up. i found where to buy it so this topic can be closed now.

Thank you, I've been jumping from one conclusion to the next on what was the problem. This helps a lot.

batman what did you use to remove the bushings? Because I've been reading that I'm going to need a hydraulic press. Are they really that difficult to remove?

Actually disregard that I hadn't read your thread in its entirety yet
