Default front bushings!!!

What do front bushings in the lower control arm look like when they are worn. I jacked up the car and the bushings look all torn and smashed up. would that cause a thunking noise when going over speed bump or when steering wheel is turned sharp left or right?

That's could be it or ball joints/tie rod ends. Either way, you'll like it better with good bushings.

It's very possible that that is the bushings. Mine does the same thing just in the back and I'm going to be replacing my rear control arm bushings soon.
