Is it possible that I would have torn compliance bushings?
The dealer said "Frond compliance bushings are badly torn".
Given the condition of my car and the fact that it doesn't get driven much, it seems odd. (30,000 miles)

Hello,

No sure what they are calling Compliance Bushings, but, you say it is not driven much, were is it parked? In a Garage or Outside?

As far as the bushing being torn the reason for this with little driving is Dryrot. If the vehicle is not driven a lot and sits a lot the the bushing aren't getting used or moving and that can cause the bushings to go bad. The more the bushing move the better, movement keeps the bushing flexible and a vehicle that sits a lot the bushing get hard and brittle.
