Front Control Arm Powerflex Bushings Pre-Installed/SOLD

Powerflex front control arm bushings (all model years) installed in bushing carrier brackets, $60 shipped in the U.S. Both bushings and brackets have 11,465 miles on them; the bushings have not deformed. As a bonus, rear trailing arm bushing inserts (2003 model) with less than 300 miles usage are included. The price is unchanged without the rear bushing inserts; rear inserts only, $20 shipped in the U.S.

I’ve returned to the stock rubber bushings and prefer the compliance. If the stock control arm bushings are worn then a change to Poly bushings will be beneficial on any level, but at the expense of some NVH transferred to the cabin; my recommendation is to stay with stock bushings for street use. If you live in a cold environment be prepared for a rough ride in the winter with Poly bushings. I did not like the rear inserts, but there are many that feel they are worthwhile; they will reduce under-steer but that is the only upside I experienced. SOLD
