Well I was putting my summer tires on and checking everything and I noticed a bushing in the lower control arm is starting to crack
Would it be cheaper to buy a new arm with the bushings in it, or take it to the shop and have the bushings replaced? I got to get some new strut mounts put in soon anyways figure I might as well get it all done at once.


I also noticed my "high quality" napa sway bar endlinks are rusting out with cracks in all the bushings! They are just over a year old too, pathetic. So if you're getting those, don't go to Napa! I plan to order energy suspension polyurethane ones today.

Grazie

 

cheaper to have a shop press it out. $40-60 or you could DYI if you have a big enough C clamp.

 

Good to know, thanks.

 

Which lower control arms are you talking about? Front or rear?

I believe it's cheaper to just get a used one. Remove it, and reinstall with no running around.

 

The front. Yeah I'm just going to get another arm. I was pricing the bushings yesterday, and for like 20 bucks more I can get a new moog lca with the bushings.

 

Yeah when it comes to doing them one/two at a time i replace the whole control arm. Even if you press them your self, your time is worth money so it actually becomes cheaper to buy a whole new control arm
