Front upper control arm

[CBRIDE]

Around spring of last year i purchased some upper control arm from tasauto and now they are shot. The bushings on them are gone and are making noise.

I dont race nor into too much performance. My car is just a daily driver.

what would you suggest i replace them with? no competition stuff.

energy suspension makes the upper and lower boot covers out of a durable polyurethane. All you have to do is remove those TAS boots and put those on w/ some grease packed in w/ it. I've had mine on for over 2-3 yrs being lowered 2 inches and they still look good.

they're about 10-15 bucks on ebay. Really easy to do.

are you talking the BALL JOINT or the BUSHING? im talking the two bushings on the upper arm. the ball joint on the arm is good.

ES makes bushings also, you can poke out the old ones and pop in the new ones.

oh yeah I totally misread that. I meant balljoint. But I know for a fact they make the bushings as well. They're a pain in the ass to replace though. Took me the better part of a day to do all 4 upper ones w/ mj213. We had to take a chisel to it and actually break the race of the OEM one to get the guts out, then it finally gave and came out of the housing. Having a press really helps for this. But all we had was a crappy vise, I think.

But if you're lowered at all, Progress makes some camber blocks that come w/ the polybushings already in them, I think they're like 60-80 bucks, so not only will you solve the bushing issue, but your camber will be corrected as well so you won't eat up the inside edge of your tire.
