FE3/FE5 control arms with Moog speherical bushings installed

Got these from a local car that replaced the entire arms with the aftermarket ones due to cracked trailing CABs. The ball joints and leading bushings are in perfect shape. I swapped them out for a set of the MOOG problemsolver bushings, the cheaper spherical joint ones. I've used them on other cars locally and had zero problems. This is a much cheaper alternative to the fancy Powell ones and this way it's 100% bolt in, you just take your arms out and put these on, done. No worries about pressing them out and in.

Also, I have a pair of OTTP front delrin bushings, which I could install if someone is interested. I figured that's a much smaller chance so i'd rather leave the good front ones alone for now.

$180 shipped for the pair. The brand new CABs are almost half that price alone, but i'm open to reasonable offers. Also may be willing to give a partial refund if you ship your old arms back to me, assuming the ball joints are in perfect condition.

SOLD!!!

Came from an HHR actually, should be the smaller LSJ ball joints. I think you can use them on an LNF but I'm not 100% on that, i'd ask powell. He's done it both ways.

Let me measure the ball joints and confirm. What size are the LNF ones again?

From Powells info I saw the joints could be 19.5 or 20.5 mm, mine are 20 mm exactly. Part # on the arm is 15787556. Trying to confirm LNF fitment but it should work from what I understand

Just to add... I've been running the Moog spherical cabs for over a year now, and they are fantastic.

Yeah they aren't as fancy as the ones I made or the powell/OTTP ones, but for the price you can't beat them at all. You don't need trick aluminum housings in this application, simple crushed steel works just fine and you can't see them anyway so who cares lol.
