Upper control Arm bushing replaceable?
Hey guys,
Working on replacing my air struts and while taken them out, noticed the upper arm bushing is toast.
Went to local auto part store and they only sell the whole arm which is like 250 each.
Anyone know if possible to replace with aftermarket?
Attached a pic for ref.
Thanks

Hi,
You can buy URO suspension kit for $188 or MOOG control arms.

definitely recommend spending the little extra for the OE Lemforder parts. I bought an off brand for my lower control arms on my E55 and they are actually 1mm longer. doesn't seem like much, isn't noticeable if you aren't looking for it, but it won't go into alignment spec.
