trun the wheels with it setting still and watch the A arms. they shift the weight as the wheels turn. And they move if sloppy. you didn't say how old or how many miles they have on them. Look at it this way, rubber gets old just setting. It does have to be used to go bad. If it's factory bushing never replaced, they're trash just from age. And for the sake of safety replace them. Brakes and suspension are areas you can't take changes on.
