Lower Control Arm Bushings

RE: Lower Control Arm Bushings
That bushing kit is all you need for one WHOLE CAR.
If you order 2 kits, you can do 2 neons. So only order 1x $34.99 kit
I have those prothane bushings in my car after seeing my old control arm bushings were gone, and did the install myself. So if you have any questions let me know

You have no bushings at all on your control arms? If the bolts are rusted I would just spray some PB blaster or something like WD-40 and let them soak overnight so they dont' break inside the chasis.
Neon, are you doing the install yourself? Trust me it's really worth it to let a shop do it even if they charge $100

other option is new control arms - there are aftermarket ones out there - arm, bushing, and ball joint are included - 2 bolts at the back at the subframe and 1 bolt at the lower ball joint - not hard to do - if your bushings are worn, i bet your ball joints are too. _ an alignment is a good idea - anytime to you remove a steering or suspension part - plus yours are worn - Dorman has the complete control arm for 72.00 a side - figure .8 to 1.0 a side to put them in plus an alignment
Find a side mechanic or small shop. I have been doing side work for years - some of the best customers !

Just a quick little update here. I found a local shop who will do it for me. So including parts and labor it will cost me $170. Far less than the $450 that the big names wanted so I'm happy. I'm dropping the car off tonight and they are going to work on it tomorrow.
I have one more question....should I be asking them to do an alignment then too?
Thanks again for all the help!
