Upper control arm bushings
4.5 in lift.
My question would be are all upper control arm bushings the same? is this a stock part? or does it differ from different control arm brands. The rubber is very squeaky now. Im looking to replace the bushings on axel and ones close to body...

The rubber bushings in the arms I found at Napa...1 month later they were back to squeaking and groaning. I used WJ bushings in the axle. PITA to install, but worth the effort.

Poly is much more rigid than rubber, less forgiving. I know guys that went to poly and ripped off mounts during heavy flex.

thanks guys.
so it is a pretty universal fit that doesnt depend on what upper control arms you have correct?
