Need new upper control arm bushings but theres a problem....

They don't make them!!!The squeking has got on my last nerves and i want it fixed!!I shopped around even went to auto parts stores and no one has bushings because they don't make them for the 4wd trucks.That lead to the idea of just new upper arms well all auto parts stores have to order them from the dealership and they come out to be 275 a piece.

Im about to call some junk yards and see if they have any upper arms.

But if not what would you guys recommend?I don't wanna pay 500 just to stop some squeaking.

Im not interested in new control arms unless bushings cant be found.



That link does not specify weather they are for 2wd or 4wd.

As they make them for 2wd and not 4wd models.

Try getting the universal ones w/ respect to your bushings.

Energy suspension makes them. They'll still squeak though, no matter how much you grease them. At the time you install the bushings, drill and tap the UCA bushing sleeve for a grease zirk.

FWIW, toyota makes new bushings for the LCAs but not the UCA's. Weird.

If it was me though, I'd just get new arms.
