Default where to get front lower control arm bushing?

UPDATE : 2/9/11

Does anyone know of a shop in OC that has a 2 ton press so that i can bring my caster arm too to push the old bushing out and new bushing in???





im on air and i hit a couple steel plates in LA today and both my front control arm bushing went out. where can i buy the bushing/lower ball joints/etc.?


whats the average amount of cost if i get a shop to do it ?

It's either get Daizen's, or buy the whole control arm which is pricey.

hey i just bought carson's new caster arm bushings. they're actually pretty easy to install. the only thing i didnt like was that they didnt know if we had to reuse the stock bushing sleeve or not. i work at a dealer and just did them on my lunch break. made a huuuuuuuuge difference in driveability. i also did my balljoints, also bought from carson. i paid about 45 each for the caster bushings, with the ball joints and caster bushings it came out to 250.

I just went ahead and bought the whole arms from carson. They were like $130 a piece. I'm actually finally planning to install them tomorrow. I got mines in December.
