99 Runner 4wd need advice on upper control arm bushings

Hey everyone,
I see OEM bushings are about 140.00 a set from toyota but i also see Energy and a few other companies sell a set for about 50 bucks.
Can anyone recommend an alternative to the crazy OEM prices? Thanks!

I think the best person to ask this Blazeland I know I saw a thread about control arms from him.

I do know changing them is a major project because the bolts like to weld themselves to the steel shells just like spring hangers

Changing out the control arms with Bushings installed might be a option.

I would bet the price difference is the Toyota Bushings come with all the steel parts where the Energy Suspension does not just a guess.

Getting the steel shells out is a pain in the butt this is what makes the job so time consuming
