Lower Control Arm Bushing Missing?

I was wondering.. after a mitsu dealership changed my lower control arm, I hear a constant *cluck* from the area of the car when in speeds in excess of 15-20+mph.

Has anybody else had this problem?

I would check all the fasteners on the suspension corner. If there was no pushing at all, it would make some very nasty noises. If it is just clunking, my guess is that something is not tight or is binding. If it was hit in the corner, is there any chance that it was hit hard and that the subframe is bent? Either way, check all the fasteners including the upper and lower shock mounting points.

Sounds like more than just the lower control arm needed replacing.

Well, wouldn't be the first time the mitsu dealer was wrong? :P
