Hi Guys...

Lower control arm bushing is cracked. Do you have to replace the control arms ?

Can you get new lower control arms?


Thanks in advance...

 

check around at parts stores to see if they come loaded. back in the day we used energy bushings as a performance replacement. I believe 3rd gens could use modified 4th gen poly bushings, you just had to trim up the rears a bit. if you use poly go heavy on the grease.

 

Don't bother fooling with the crap we used to do here back in the day, spending hours burning/drilling out the bushings and keeping the stock arms to replace just the bushing.

Just buy a complete MOOG arm for $40 bucks and call it a day. Already has the ball joint on it too.

 

Ok Guys...Thanks !...

 

where can i get those for 40,please?and thanks

 

Currently $42.79 on Rock Auto

 

heck yeah, do that then. holy smokes

 

I bought both arms for $80 and change with new bushings and ball joints. Well worth it.

 

thanks yall....now can someone help me,i need about eighty fie fiddy

 

mine are ok for now,years ago i did only the front bushing on pass side c arm
and a few months ago i replaced the whole control arm on the drivers side

I picked up a used one at an auto wreckers since my local pick and pull yard
only had a rusty one,the wreckers pulled it and it was about 40,

I ask...was it stuck on? he goes ...naw i just had to spray rubber eating penetrating oil All over the bushing area and twist it up and down a bunch!...(annndddd rip up my new used bushing so its barely better than my old very ripped one oh thanks professional guy)
last used one i pulled to reuse i think i hammered forward-wise and maybe got my gear puller on there and used penetrant in a controlled manner,lol
