Default Clunking in front end...

In my 2005 XC90. Can't find any leaks or problems with struts, but did find that lower control arm bushings look worn. Thinking of changing these myself. Anyone ever work with them? Can they be pressed out/replaced easily, or should I look to swap the whole control arm assembly?

Thx,
L76

Those bushings are likely pressed in/out, and will likely be a bear to replace. I'd do control arms, especially if they have ball joints in them...you'll get new ball joints, too. Check sway bar end links as well. You may have a failed or failing strut mount, too.
