This is not the ordinary swaybar or control arm bushing question. I've been searching on here and on CAPS for the last hour and came up empty handed. The bushing I need is located on the upper rear control arm, but its not the mounting bushing, its the one at the end that connects to the wheel hub. (Sorry if I confused you, I really don't know what its called.) So if anyone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, on CAPS, it shows the upper control arm, but no bushing that goes there. I can post a pic from CAPS showing where it is suppost to go if needed.

I see what you mean. It appears that you have to buy the entire rear wheel hub to get new bushings. Not only does CAPS not give a part number for the rear upper arm bushing, but it doesn't give a part number for the 2 lower arm bushings either. They must be pressed in.

In a previous thread that I was involved in regarding sub-frame bushings, another poster suggested ExtremePSI. Try this:

They have a generic picture of a front suspension on all the listings, however, if you scroll down some, you will see a listing for a 2G rear control arm bushing set for $67.00. You will need to call them to find out if it includes the bushing you need. Good luck.

lookin4dsm: Thanks for the response. I probally would not have found that kit if you didn't post it here. The bushing I need is included with the kit, now I just have to find out if the kit includes both sides or if it is just one side. I'm going to get the kit because I need new shock bushings as I have a set of Tokico Illumina struts/spring package and need new bushings for them.
