I bought an 07 that had this suspension kit installed (see link)
It wanders and clunks a little and a shot told me the rubber bushings are worn on the control arms.
The arms have heim on one end, oem style rubber bushings on the other end.

I figured I could just google and order bushings but everything coming up is polyurethane and from what I could tell that's not the way to go? (squeaking and won't last) etc. For the life of me, I can't find just standard rubber bushings. I called full traction but they are short handed and said to email. I emailed and no response. Since they say "oem style" I am assuming I can just use oem bushings if I can find them.

I'm about ready to just pull the trigger on a poly kit and be done with it but decided to try here and see if somene can point me to some good rubber ones instead.

I don't know if this helps you or not. If you don't want to order there just google the Moog PN.



yeah that helps and I saw the Moog ones but since mine are heims on one end and bushings on the other, I'm not sure which ones to choose. I assume if the bushing says "upper control arm bushing" then you'd normally get 2 of them for each side. But in my case I'd get just one?

There is a upper and a lower control arm, the heim end just makes it adjustable. Normally the lowers are just adjustable unless you get close to a 6" lift, then both upper and lowers are heim on one end.

Do you need the uppers or lowers control arm bushings?

they said to replace all control arm bushings. So this is what I have in my cart.

The 2 bottom ones you have the picture of are for the rear control arms, you just want the fronts don't you? Or do you need them also?

The first one says front lower and doesn't say axle or frame so it must not matter, so it's right then.

If your replacing the rears is there a heim on the lowers there? If no heim you'll need 4 rear uppers and 4 rear lowers.
