rear suspension

Anyone happen to have any radius arms or parallel links with good bushing and in good condition they want to let go of?

You don't trust the ES replacements?

I was just thinking of swapping out the radius arms and parallel links completely with ones that already have a good set of bushings but I suppose you have a point. I guess if mine aren't broken I could just swap in some es bushings. I saw a set on eBay for a good price but they sold before I could buy them. I was looking at arms and links on courtesy parts with bushings and go new everything but if nothing reasonably priced pops up that's probably just what I'll do is just replace the worn bushings.

my only fear is the squeaking from the ES stuff.

Good point. I have the es bushings on my front control arms with no sqeeky issues so far mind you a little grease probably helped. Would greasing the rear bushings help as well? Hopefully something will come up but in the meantime I'll look around. Not in a huge rush. Preferably I'd like to find a clean complete rear subframe assembly with the arms. There's gotta something kicking around. Maybe Arizona perhaps but I'm sure shipping wouldnt be too cheap.

Wow. I noticed your in florida so you'd figure they'd not rust out or get brittle being a pretty solid part. Im in Canada and still have the original ones on the car. Maybe i should just consider going new lol. Did they come with the bushings?
