Icon2 Lower control arm???

hey sorry for the NOOB question but

i got the car used, they replaced the lower control arms a good 2 years ago. and i got Function and Forms sitting on it..
I noticed a SQUEEKING sound and come to find out the bushings are bad on the LCA. i dont know the brand of the LCA so are are there Universal Bushings to replace the bad ones? and if so what are the Good, Better and Best type of bushings?

another thought. whats a good brand for a Short shifter.

Well, if you have the spare cash, get F7's. $~240 shipped from JHPUSA...they have a lifetime warranty on the bushings.

So you're going to replace old crappy Blox bushings with new crappy Blox bushings?

I read somewhere that OEM bushings are a direct replacement. Do a search and verify that before you purchase any parts.

Blox is the problem, do not replace with the same crap, use something worthwhile.

Hardrace LCAs are inexpensive and have good solid bushings.
