Control arm replacement

My passenger side control arm bushing is worn out.. any suggestion on what aftermarket brand is reliable? Still riding on stock control arms. OEM part is $370 each. Should I replace both sides ?

Push out the bushings and press in new ones?

I thought about changing the bushing itself but most shops don’t want do that job even the dealer. They want replace the whole piece. Thought maybe an Acurazine had good experience with any aftermarket parts for it

Not sure whether you have a 4 cylinder or V6, though, APW.com is showing the OEM passenger & driver side lower control arm as discontinued for both; therefore, it appears you have no choice to go aftermarket if you want the complete assembly.


Take your choice from rockauto, the ones below are classified 'Economy' & less expensive:
