Default Rouch Country fixed arm..bushings?

RC fixed arms, with rubber bushings. Looking at a pair of used on ones for the cost of shipping, but they have bad, no wait..I mean HORRID bushings, chunks missing out of 1 of them lol.

Do these take the oem clevite rubber bushings? If not what bushings do they take? Looking to stay with rubber & would love to keep it cheap. If no one know I'll call RC.

Thanks guys.

I would go with RC, maybe before purchasing them call them and ask about the bushings and if they have replacements..or tell them you have had them and they shouldnt be doing that..you might get lucky and they might send you a new set or something ..RC has great support and customer service..your best bet might just be buying new from them

Well I currently have every new bushing the jeep needs lol. New oem clevite bushings for uppers, lowers, shackle & leafs & new isolators. I redid everything on my jeep and bushings were on the list. I was gonna keep stock lowers since I'm only at 3"...but ran into these lowers for 15 bucks.
I'm hoping the stock bushings fit since I already have them..if not then RC will get my business. Always hear they are great!

Anyone know for sure?

I am the op and no the arms I'm getting are from someone online. He pm'ed me cause I posted in someones for sale thread about LCA's that turned out to be sold. He offered em for the cost of shipping, and shipping cost him $14.80 I guess so for 15 bucks I get a pair of RC fixed lcas.
