Default rear control arm problem...

I put on my GC's today, and one of the bolts seized up and broke in my pass. rear lower control arm. We managed to get it out by torching it, but obviously ruined the bushings. This happened last year when I put on my old suspension and I ended up buying a whole new arm from a dealer cause I couldn't find bushings. Does somebody sell just the bushings, or do I need to go the dealer route and get a new control arm again? I shoulda bought some aftermarket ones by now +1 for learning the hard way...

I get my bushing right from Honda, had to replace 4 so far, and you'll need a press but you know that.

Cool....The last time the dealership I went to said they didn't sell just the bushings. I was under the impression that I couldn't buy them....only the whole arm. Guess I'll try a different dealer this time.Thanx
