Hi, I am looking for some help. I am about to change all rear strut rod bushings, install an H-Brace and change all the camber bushings. I noticed that my outer control arm bushings are cracking and would like to replace them....if possible while I am working on it. I have tried to look for the rear control arm bushings but they don't seem to be available. Are the bushings on the rear control arms replaceable or are they a part of the arm and cannot be replaced? If they can be replaced, does anyone know who makes the bushings and possibly a part number?

Those are the upper arm bushings, which I already have. I am inquiring about the lower arm bushings. It seems like they are a part of the arm and are unavailable. I think the only option is to switch to Ingalls adjustable arms.

I think you're correct or you could get the GTP arms with a SHONUT reducing sleeve to take up the slack from the larger GM bolt hole.

Yeah, I will probably go that direction eventually, luigisho. I believe these are pressed in bushings. I'm waiting to hear back from Ford to see if they can get those bushings. They gave me a part number for a bushing, but it's the wrong one. RCM, RockAuto only sell inners. I've tried calling a couple part suppliers and same thing.

I would suggest the Ingalls rear control arms. They will be much easier to install and will not require pressing out the bushings. Also you get a lot more adjustment: http://www.shosource.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=61_3_35&products_id=7

SHONut no longer sells the GTP kits because of the Ingalls kits.

You will only find the eccentric bushings because most favor the extra adjustment with the Moog bushings. We were not able to get them a while ago: http://www.shosource.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=61_3_36&products_id=222

Thanks for clarifying things LOUDSHO.

I am going to take the arms off a scrap car and the **** with these factory arms!
