Rear upper control arm bushing search

[DeNoZZo]

There is a bushing on the rear upper control arm on my car that has nearly completely disintegrated. I'm having some trouble identifying it. I don't know if I would need to buy the whole arm if I can just buy the individual bushing. It's the bushing where if you look right above the rear tire when the car is on the ground you can see it.

Im guessing its the knuckle bushing, I would not buy the whole arm. I almost did then i found out that a local speed shop had a energy suspension rear bushing kit for $75.

Yea I saw those kits on a couple vendor websites. But I don't really want to get the whole kit. Just the individual bushing. I looked on JNZ's OEM catalog and I didn't see the bushing listed on there. So I may have to. I just want to confirm it's not press fit in or anything.

I bet your car goes where it wants in the rain, and after bumps correct? I saw just that bushing for $32 on a MitsuGraveyard/GaryMitsu vendor. But its there for $32 I think just the bushing. It's even on ebay,

Yes those are it. If I swerve back and forth going in a straight line the back end would give a wobble feeling.

Ordered. Thanks a lot man!

No problem, these little things were hell to find 2 years ago, But im glad you realised these little devils were the culprits. Ive seen too many of idiots replace, tierods, balljoints, struts, springs, only to have this little insert be torn to pieces. More people need to check these things.

you can get aftermarket or OEM bushings from a local parts store for front or rear

Not for 2g's. There impossible to find, parts stores offer them available with the whole hub assembly.

$64 for the 2 from ebay. when you can get the whole kit for about $13 more and you can replace every bushing on both sides.
