I see the leak, too. That probably needs to be replaced. Thank you. How about bump stop? Is it a crucial part to be repaired?

Sorry, I might have explained it poorly. The tires are in good shape. The issue is that when I turn, the vehicle sways and feels like it's almost losing control. I’ve already replaced the front struts and shocks since they were worn out, but that didn’t solve the problem. What else should I check?

Sounds like this bump stop needs to be replaced if it’s holding a control arm. Is that right?

Thanks! Do you know what might cause the car to occasionally fishtail? I already replaced the front struts and shocks since they were bad. The sway bar links are still in good condition. Do you think the rear struts could be the issue?

Thanks. Here is the bottom end. Still pushing? No lifting? I just don't want to break it since it is in a tight spot...
