Front end clunking?

Front end clunking?
99 millenia S. Noticed front end clunky sound when hitting bumbs. Took it to the shop. The front wheel was kinda lose. The guy said it was a bushing from some kind of control arm or sway bar..steering stabilizer.. He didnt really know. They tried to find the part but couldnt. It caused the tire on that side (passenger) to wear and fray. Got new tires. They told me I shouldnt drive more then 600 or 1000 miles with it like that. Said they would put the part on if I could find it. Wow.. thanks guys. So i saw where the bushing thing was. it looked like just above the upper A arm. Was like the bushing was gone so the whole wheel could wobble a little. Anyone know what this part could be called so i can look it up and buy it???

do you mean the bushing on the rear end of the control arm, where it bolts to the underside of the unibody? i doubt anyplace else except the dealer would have them. i just did them. helluva job. actually, quite easy. you gotta pull the arm, tho, and them bolts that hold the bushing housing are ON there. course, 600 ft/lbs of reverse torque made it easy.

Im pretty sure its the bushing part on the front end where the pin is. You can see it move when you jack up the front end and jiggle the wheel assembly. Shop said they will put it in if i can find the part. Found it for around $60.00 online. Couldn't find a bushing for the front part of the arm so i figured ill just get the whole arm. Its number 9 on the link below.
