[QUOTE="BurgieJKU, post: 462939, member: 25809"] Solution: I reordered the bushings from Rough Country, received them, took the control arm off, went to put the new one in and they sent me the wrong parts (note to self to check the posts BEFORE taking apart any repair). I had to shave the existing bushing down to get it back into its housing, then put 2 washers on each side of the control arm and put it back in its connection bracket. This seems to hold to I get the correct bushing. I plan on doing the washer trick again when I get the new bushings, why they don't send the part out with a fix to this, I don't know. Lesson: Don't use Rough Country ever again, there's much better stuff out there Made in America, costs more but worth it! Thanks for your help, hope this can help others with the same problem.
