IIRC if you go dealer you have to buy whole arms with new bushings preinstalled (ie they don't sell just bushings).

4x4parts sells just the bushings.

However I have heard that the task of removing the bushings from the arms is a royal PITA, and it has been suggested to replace the entire arm, and save some sanity.

They can be swapped out, didn't say they couldn't, just FYIed on the dealer option.

Anyone ever try Partsgeek.com? They have some good prices and free shipping for orders over 100 bux.

You can get the bushings seperate but its a real PITA to replace them and you very well can screw them up if you do it wrong. Much much easier to just replace the whole thing. For an additional $80 or so (I think the list is $115 for the whoel part and $12 or so per bushing) you have to ask how much 5 hours of your time, frazzled nerves and bleeding knuckles is worth when you could have been done 4 hours earlier.......

Me thinks I'll be asking you for a quote on the whole arm assembly before summer. I like to do things myself, but I also don't have time to waste...

(blood, yeah, well, that's lubrication )
