Can a bad bushing ruin my airmatic?
Hey guys i have a 2000 s430 and recently my right front end started to creak BADLY. So i took it in and my mechanic looked at it for a second and said it was my upper control arm bushing. I havent been driving the car because im scared the bad bushing is going to ruin my airmatic. And i already know the airmatic is $1000-$2000 job. SO can a bad bushing ruin my airmatic or am i over reacting and can i drive my baby again?

its ok to drive, but you should probably do it soon because it throws off your alignment.
