Hi,


Other than difficulty in getting an alignment, what are the symptoms that the LCA or the UCA bushings are kaput and needs replacement?
When I make a sudden braking and when I accelerate after the sudden braking, i can hear a thud coming from the right wheel well.

I have recently replaced the LBJs, UBJs, TREs, and rack ends.
Thanks.

If they are really bad in the front it will lurch left or right under heavy braking. When they go bad in the back all that happened to me was a noise like a single loud crack upon certain acceleration/decceleration. It was the lower rear control arm that was making the noise on mine
 
For me, whenever I go up a driveway, I can hear a “thud” from the side where the bushings were bad.
