what are you needing them for. if your factory ones went to **** you can either get them checked out underwarranty or if I was you buy polyeurethane ones. they aren't that expensive or that dificult to instal. just put the round peg in the round whole and you've got it.

No, DO NOT get aftermarket bushings. Plain and simple.

Thats all I read about on this forum, the polyeurothane seem to be garbage.

So I have to buy the complete control arm? How much does that cost?

well my poly bushings are still holding up after around 10k on them. if you dont mind sacrificing a little ride quality but really increasing performance crontrol arm bearings would do the trick and not wear out nearly as fast autoX VW guys use them all the time. look up spherical bearing and do some research if you think your interested it's a little mor pricey but well worth it.

if you want to see why you dont put urethane bushings in that location, find my thread in the suspention forum (why you dont install urethane controll arm bushings). basicly the urethane isnt designed to flex like it needs to and the bushing just breaks away. from an engineering standpoint it just wont last and should never have been built, however retailers continue to take peoples money on a product that shouldnt exist.
