Then there is this. Im not sure of the technical term but, it is where the passenger side A-arm connects to the frame. It looks loose. Not like the drivers side. Should I be concerned about this, or is it normal? If not how do I fix? Just tighten it up? Thanks!!post-50789-0-34230400-1418704390_thumb.jpgpost-50789-0-00918300-1418704411_thumb.jpg

Normal and normal.

 

That bushing should not be toght against the control arm. There is a certain amount of clearance that's supposed to be there to allow free rotation of the control arm and prevent the control arm from hitting the metal frame of the bushing. If the bushing is pressed tight against the control arm the control arm could be bent.
