The poly replacement bushings are crap. They work really well in the beginning but the polyurethane just gives up after a few months and all you get is severe control arm play. I dont know if thats what you have or are thinking about "upgrading" too. Just figured I'd throw the info out there.

actually i had ordered the stock replacement bushings for my car i never even planned on getting the poly bushings, for the $20.00 if they last another 20,000 miles ill replace them again. nramlow2006 i will let you know how difficult it will be i will end up replacing them as soon as the dealership gets them.
