Control arm bushings for the rear impossible to find? June 28, 2006, 04:24:39 PM I've called every parts store and they all dont have a listing for the lower controll arm bushinigs! Is the bushing that goes into the lower controll arm at the axle the same as any of the top bushings? That bushing has completely fallen apart. Quote Selected

If you can find some pre '98 Mustang arms, you can get the bushings out of them. 99+ used 14mm instead of the 12mm hardware of the earlier cars...No the upper bushings are different than that rear lower bushing...

Reply #11 – June 29, 2006, 09:25:06 AM That's not pricey....the ES kit is closer to $75-80 normally.As has been mentioned before, do not replace all 4 locations with poly. At the very least leave the rubber bushings on the axle ears. Quote Selected
