ok, I am fairly sure they make polyurethane bushings for the control arms in our cars, correct?

Default thanks a million, as I understand correctly in our control arms it is the bushings that weaken, and
cause our arms to be replaced, not the fatigue of the metal arms themselves, correct?

If so, why not just replace all the bushings each time, it would be a lot cheaper than whole arms.

Default did you look at the drawings, it looks like they have every bushing covered from what I can tell.
Either way I will order lower arms and bushings. Thanks.

The arms themselves? What do you replace them with?
