Tried a search. I just need the two lower front control arms w/ bushings. I've checked out ECS, Shokan, and partsvws. So far ECS has the price beat at $120 each. Has anyone else found a site that sells cheaper arms?

You have a 96 right...my 97 with about 85,000 saw a great improvement when I replaced them all tightend everthing up. Replacement was easy too, something to consider.

least as far as the inboard pivot and lower shock bushings. Ya can't buy them without em so I'm wondering if you're on to something special?

I am considering purchasing all 8 and getting it all done at once, but i really dont want to pay for labor. This will be my biggest job to date on this car, and i am fairly confident with a wrench add to that the help of the greteast all-around mechanic/improviser i have ever met, my father, and i think i can handle it. Is there a tech write up for it? Thanks

had to get a couple tools alrready had the ball joint seperator from wheni did my wheel bearings. i replaced my suspension and control arms at the same time.. it was difficult because not all of the bolts wanted to seperate.. but finally i got it done..
