Default Upper control arm problems

ok so the bushings on my uca on the front are worn out. They other day I removed the uca and the bushing fell to the ground by themselves. The bushings alone cost like $20 each so I thought I take a look to Ebay. my car is a daily driver so I dont race a lot, has stock suspension and 15" rims. so whatr do you guys think of this? the reason to trying to go cheap is cuz I need new tires so im saving money and the bushings ate my front tires really fast.

Honda doesn't sell those bushings separate, but I wouldn't cheap out on bushings. I'd search for a company Moog.

buy it, it cant be worse than no bushings at all right!
also it will do just fine for daily driving. i would consider replacing it if you ever decide to do track days or autoX.

Moog UCA's are 15% off on advance auto's website with free shipping. I'd recommend starting there, then getting an alignment, then getting new tires.
