need part numbers for rear control arm bushingss

[2slow4now]

What I have is the rear rear lower control arm (the one with the ball joint) off a fwd and am wanting to swap out the bushing for an awd bushing. I have read that prothane makes this bushing but can't find the part number for it.

I also am doing the 3g rear front lower control arm (tubular) swap and can't seem to find the part number for that bushing as well.

On the picture its the bushings labeled #12 for the awd bushing and #9 for the 3g bushing.

Ok so that takes care of one of them. The c-10042 rear rear lower arm. Now if I can get a galant or 3g front lower bushing part number. I replaced one of those before and they are a stepped bushing (oem). One end is bigger than the other. Unless they are made to leave the metal sleeve in the arm.

I thought greengoblin had the tube 3g arms on his ride but the pics he had showed some custom ones with heim joints.

I finally got ahold of prothane's tech support and he said that part number isn't any good. (c-10042) He aslo said they only sell bushings in kits only. He couldn't even tell me what bushings came in the kit.

From a quick search, it'll come from Prothane kit 13-302. Maybe try calling up some place that sells this kit and see if they can pull individual part numbers.

Yeah I got the kit number but the bad is I already have a full energy suspension kit installed. That's the only two bushings I can't find. I was hoping someone that has done the tube arm swap could chime in since I already looked and came up with what you found. ASA doesn't even show that you can buy the front arm bushing by itself.

My next step was to find someone that can give me individual part numbers like your saying. Kind of funny that the prothane tech support couldn't tell me. Thanks for doing some leg work though.

Prothane couldn't tell you? WTF That's messed up. Good luck finding them and post them up once you have. The 3g parts swap is something I might do at some point.

I'm chatting with prothane suspension right now

The only way they will sell you the bushing kits that have the two elusive bushings is if you buy the 95-99 eclipse awd kit #13301 and 2001 fwd eclipse #13302.

I found the numbers for the individual bushings.

3G fwd eclipse front rear arm- 64367 and 60777
2g awd eclipse rear rear arm- c-10042, u-64187, and slv-60633

Nice to have part numbers but no way to buy them! They said absolutely not about selling them by part number. Kit only.

There's three hours of possible wrench time I'll never get back.

Just as an addition to this. I bought an entire rear prothane kit for a 2g eclipse for the two rear bushings I was looking for and used one of the bushings as is for the 2g rear arm and then turned the other bushings sleeve down to press fit in the 3g rear lower control arm.

This worked out better than having to buy a 3g kit and a 2g kit just to get the 4 bushings needed.
