Control Arm Bushings
does the dealer sell the control arms with the bushing already installed in them or do you have to buy the bushing separate?

my control arm bushings are bad on both sides. is it easier just to buy the entire control than try to press a bushing in?

if you have an FE5 arm it makes sense to upgrade to the OTTP cross axis ball joint dont buy a new arm unless your outer ball joint is screwed

buy the Fe5 arms with bushings from GM or do a deal for OTTP cabs with arms. either way depends on what you want to do with the car...
