lower control arm bushings
hi all,
just got my car back from dealership for camber and toe adjustment...apparently, the rear is in spec with benz. but they found that the front lower control arm bushings are shot. They replaced them last June! How can they wear out so quick? b4 they were replaced, they lasted the entire time (about 8 years)...should I ask them to cover it under the dealer warranty or atleast some of it because it's only been a year...

my SA said they shouldn't be worn out in a years time...he's gonna talk to the service mgr to see if he can cover most of it because it's only been a year and two months time since they replaced them for me. will update when i kno why they wore out so quick.

i have no idea...i brought it in because they thought it may have been a rear camber and toe issue, but the rear was fine. they just told me that the front bushings have to be replaced again...
