you can get them any an auto parts store, but they will have to be pressed in and out and I've heard that is a PITA! Quadratec sells new control arms w/ bushings for a good price, $34.99 ea.

well i have a 4.5 inch lift and i just bought some control arms off a guy on here and they need new bushings so it would be pointless for me to buy control arms when i just got some, will the auto parts store press them through or do i have to do them myself cause that would be a pain

well that pertinent information would have been very helpful in your first post and negated my post.

email or call pro-comp to see about replacement bushings.
