Those will work. They have poly versions as well that are cheaper. The poly ones are the ones a lot of us have.

I think you're better off taking this to a mechanic. Do you have a press, or the mechanical ability?

There are detailed directions already on the forum if you looked, just like the caster arm bushings were clearly listed on the FIGS site.

You can get them for about $130, depending on year of your car. A lot less work to put in the whole arm than to be pressing bushings.
