Default Rear control arm bushings

Hey whatz up every one. I just found out that my need some suspension work. I know that for the most part and I ordered up some new sway bar bushing and links front and rear. I was planning on doing also new shocks an H&R springs but, that looks like it going to have wait. I found out that my lower rear control arm bushings are shot and need to be changed out and rear stabilizing links. I found out that the bushing on the lower control arm can be change out instead of buy a whole new control arm for $800 buck a pop. I found this out on

They are from racing green cars ltd. They have made some replacement bushing that you can press in.

Default results of bushings for lower control arm

I have the same issue with control arm bushings and was wondering if you tried the ones from racing green ltd? How did it work?

I tired Nalley and was told you have to buy the whole component with the bushing in it... you can't buy just the bushings.

I would also be very interested to know if the ones in the OP worked. Thanks

There's a bushing available that can be pushed in. I'll check threads for you but search around the threads for the part number mentioned in threads a while back.

Default Bushings

Just leave the bushings alone. Does the suspension have any kind of noise in the front or rear, any kind of play??? If not then I would leave them alone altogether. The control arm bushings being crack never cause any issues that I have seen, The front links and sway bar bushings on the front can make clunking noises, but the rears I have never seen those make noise. Unless you have excessive play or a noise, I would leave them alone.
