I would appreciate any help with the following problems: 1. Water and fogging in one headlight. 2. Rear control arm bushings need replacement and cause clunking. I replaced tie rod already. Estimate for bushings was very expensive. Any suggestions on a cheaper fix or if I need to do it at all. 3. Rear brake calipers are problematic. I took off caliper to inspect pads that are in need of replacement. After re-assembly the pads rub on the rotor and do not allow it to rotate freely. It also makes lots of noise. Suggestions until I can replace pads and I may still have same problem since new pads will be much thicker. 4. I need to replace right front control arm due to a bad ball joint. Any pointers and level of difficulty. 5. Radio shorts or cuts out periodically and them will come back on. Any ideas if I should research head unit, speakers, antennae or amp. 6. ABS line in rear is completely severed. Did not look at front but ABS does not seem to be working when I brake. Cost of fix? Do-it youreself job possible? Thanks to all who respond.
