    A-arm Bushings?

    Just went to get the front end aligned on my '91 3KGT SL and found out I need Outer Tie Rod ends and ALL new bushings on my Lower A-arms. The tie rod ends are easy to find (already bought them). But, I can't find bushings for the Lower A-arms. I'm not paying over $500 for A-arms. When all I need is the bushings. Anybody know where I can get just the bushings? LMK

    Seth toddrs93 (or something like that) was selling refurb control arms with new bushing if memory serves. Thats probably your best bet because some of the bushings are diffiicult to find, and if you do they are a ridiculous price.

    You can't just buy the front bushing, but you can buy the rears. There was someone on the other forum that posted a thread about modding bushings to replace the front bushings.

    superflex.co.uk has them, really expensive though for what you get. Im working on producing some here soon, as long as my machinist can figure out how to lathe the poly properly, which will be a more affordable option.

    i second this. he even coated them. for the ~$250 price, i think it's well worth it.

    I was pointed toward a post on another forum that shows where you can use the lower control arm bushing from an '86 Starion and just shave off a little from one end. Costs like $14.

    Thanks everyone

    Yeah, but which lower bushing is it? The rear lower control arm bushing for the front control arm is available from the dealer. I know, bought a set. I actually bought two, I still have a 1g set because I was told the wrong part number to buy the first time.

    The front bushing, that was the thread I was referring to.
