Hello
I was given a set of aftermarket upper control arms. I need to get some bushing for both of them. Can i use the stock ones or do i have to buy set somewhere. If so is there a better aftermarket set to buy?
Thanks for you help

BEWARE if you change them! The stock bushings are very difficult to remove! I used the largest hole saw I could get to fit into the bushing mount in a 1/2 inch hammer drill to remove the bulk of the bushing. Then, I used an air grinder with a cone shaped abrasive bit to get the rest of the rubber out and get down to bare metal. Still, it took about two hours and I was shagget out . . . btw, my car had 5k miles on it when I did this . . .

I was just informed that i am getting a set of lower control arms too. A friend of mine works at a wrecking yard and they can't sell aftermarket so most of the guys take the parts. But he said they need bushins as well. So i checked out steeda on the uppers. now i need the lowers.
Any idea where to get the bushings cheap
