Default ordering upper control arms from USA for shipping to UK

Hey guys,

I have to replace the upper control arms in the front. Since the Poundollar exchange rate is so high, I wanted to buy the arms from a US company. I have found rates as low as $300 dollars for each arm, which would work out around £170.

However, can anyone recommend a reliable US parts company that would ship to the UK?

Also, the bushings inside the rear axle carriers are weak. The rear end skips like a kangaroo when you drive around a bend! I've heard of a guy (called Ozzi) in the US who makes replacement bushings when I have been browsing some of the previous postings here. Any official or unofficial comments on replacement bushings versus buying the whole rear axle carrier assembly?

Thanks in advance,

A british fan of Lexus
