Can you use stock replacement control arm bushings on aftermarket control arms? I believe the control arms are Mega Bytes, don't know if they're the jr's or not. The top ones are fine, but the bushings in the lower a cracked and breaking. Thanks in advance for your help.

No. The shape is different. The Maximum Motorsport arms are far better for a little bling and have a poly front bushing with a spherical rear bushing that nearly eliminates bind when cornering.

Why would you want to put stock crap bushings in aftermarket control arms. That would be a lot of effort putting them in for....and you would get terrible performance from them.

The bushings in these control arms are just about gone. Meaning they're falling apart. I haven't been able to find any replacements for the HPM Mega-Bytes so i was just wondering if i could use stock replacements. Thanks guys.
