Front Lower Control Arm Bushings

I need these for both sides. The dealer told me they would be 180 bucks each total of $360 in parts. Is this right or can I do better? I looked at classiccarsprings and they list Lower Control arms but im not sure if that is what I need. My mechanic wants to go through the dealer and I asked him to wait because I think you people can send me in a different direction here.

Please let me know, thanks in advance.

Oh thanks for the repllies to my other post about my steering problem. You were all correct, it was the bushings. (I was told I cant buy just the bushings separately...Have to get the entire control arm?)

They can be purchased from Matt93SE for much cheaper.

You can GET the bushings separately for about $70 per set... but then you have to pay someone to replace all of them for you.. that requires about 3 hours of labor to remove, replace, reinstall.

I've got a core exchange program going on where I buy the bushings, do the replacement work, and send you a set of rebuilt arms... then you swap them with the ones on your car and send your old ones back to me. I then rebuild them and send them to the next victim... and so on and so on...

I do that for $130, OR I can sell you new aftermarket arms for $170+ shipping... email or PM me for more info. (or click the link in the post above)
