Is it possible to replace the bushes in the front control arms or do you have to replace the whole unit.
Thanks, Trev |

They are the right ones and probably reasonable price. You would expect pretty much same price in other stores. Make sure they come with some sort of warranty and you order one LHS and one RHS.

Rockauto is the cheapest but when you calculate shipping it comes to the same price. Also, remember if you ve got 2001-02 model there are different control arms. So make sure you are ordering the right ones.
