Your best bet is to just buy new complete control arms. You can find them on ebay pretty cheap, or I think that local parts stores can get them for a slight bit more. I re did mine the poly bushings, and am not that happy with it so far. Has to do with the angle and the bushing type used, do a search, theres a few threads about it. For ultimate reliability you want to replace with fe5 control arms and then go spherical bushings... but thats if you want/need to spend the money.

Last I checked you can get the rear bushings seperate from the arm. You would however need a press to get them in and out.

I bought mine from RockAuto Auto Parts . Get the Moog ones. I got both sides for $23.22 total shipped with the 5% discount code and I was able to press the old ones out and the new ones in myself.

P.M. me for the discount code and any other questions.
