LCA bushings Where to buy?
I have a set of used skyjacker lower control arms that have just a sleeve and the two push in bushings from both ends of the arm. Well the xj started a from end clunk and I have about 1/8" of slop in the lower arms now. I need to replace the bushings ASAP an was wondering what will my best bet be to replace them? Can I cross over to something an auto parts store has or do I need to order online? Any help is appreciated. I was also considering buying new arms? But that's on the pricey side of the spectrum for a good set.

Energy suspension should have what you need. I believe that they are just a standard size bushings.
I believe that procomp and some others are the same. Those would probably work too.

Ok I tried advance auto for energy suspension but of course they pulled the what make, model, blah blah. I called a local offroad shop and I'm waiting for Him to call back. Said he may have something

I had the same problem with my crown control arms. I ended up mesuring the ID OD and width and finding a rubber bushing at the store that would fit. I had to press the new rubber one in. Clunk is gone .
