Default where is the best place to find...

I have a 99 durango slt 4x4 and im looking for a control arm ive found em on ebay and they are close to 300. Im not even gonna waste my time trying a dealer.
Anyone know of any online websites that are resonable
for things like this?

Hell that's what the dealer charges if I remember correctly, it may even be a little less.

I found one at a salvage yard for $20.00.
It's the bushings that are bad I just figured it would be easier to chage the whole arm rather than the bushings

ah, makes sense... probably too late but i'd suggest polyurethane bushings on all the arms. it'll make it feel better than new. did it on my jeep, ram and will be on my 2005 ram when the time comes...

Why not simply replace the bushing isntead of the entire control arm? While you are in there, I would replace the ball joints if you haven't already.
