If your stock control arms are not completely hooped, I’d just rebuild the OE ones.

A nice trick is to weld strap iron around the bushings on the lowers to “box them in” Do that before you remove the original lower bushings, then you can remove them and install, the new ones without having to worry about distorting things.

Thanks for the info. I guess the aftermarket parts are acceptable, and better than trying to replace all the petrified rubber I currently have? Yes fishing for opinions here....

Been using Moog and NAPA bushings thru out my career. There's some newer stuff I am not familiar with, maybe same old stuff, just new branding?
