Recommended control arm bushings?
I have a 1996 Cherokee that's needs control arm bushings. I was just going to replace the control arm with tubular ones,but a cracked radiator today will be postponing that. I saw some some Energy Suspension ones on Summit that look decent,but I want to know if there's any you guys swear by.

Have fun with that.
It's probably cheaper and easier to get stock control arms.

Yeah they do sell new "stock" arms that has bushings already on it.
Trying to press the old ones out then trying to get new ones in ain't easy.

I tried to tell my son that but he said he couldn't afford it then and would replace the bushings instead, after almost 5 hrs......he ruined both CA's. Then returned the bushings and bought new CA's.

Pressing bushings in?
My stock control arms must be really worn out. The bushings
just slip in and out. The last four or five years I have had the
new bushings spot-welded into the arms to get the Jeep through
the annual inspection. The welds break after a few weeks most
of the time. No death wobble, though.
