has anyone found replacement bushings for the lower control arms? i will be replacing my lower arms with used ones from a junk yard, but i would like to put new bushings in while they are out. i am not able to find them anywhere. factory doesnt make them either. i would hate to spend 300 bucks on new arms just to get new bushings. i have a 2001 4x4. it seems the 2wd ones are a dime a dozen. please let me know if and where anyone has found them. thanks!

 

All I could find was the energy suspension ones a whole front end kit $60 + shipping http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=5%2E3139

Strange I looked and dont see them also??

 

98 Dak, those are the ones! thanks for the help!!!! i was planning on doing the uppers as well, so why not use the same brand. cool, thanks again.

 

now the next question is........how hard is it to get the tortion bars out so i can get the control arm off? i have heard really bad things in regards to that. thats why the junk yards by me torch the t/b off.

 

Sorry I have a 2wd Dakota not 4X4.

 

I owned a VW bug that I converted to a Baja Bug way back so I have replaced these all I can remember is dont mix the sides up left side right side torson bar look for a key button mark so on as you take them off and take photos of these marks so you can get them back on correctly both ends.

Oh and dont get the ends mixed up label them like this end is the A arm end I think you know what I mean.

Thats as much as I know and thats in regards to a VW not a Dakota
