I think i have a lower control arm bushing thats trying to seize up. Im going thru lower ball joints on the drivers side faster than normal. Has anyone had to change out a bushing before? Any ideas?

I rebuilt my entire front end with parts from Beck-Arnley and the only two things they didn't have were the lower control arm bushings and the idler arm bushing. I ended up putting everything back together with the old bushings because I had to drive the truck and couldn't wait to have custom ones made.

I just got a Beck-Arnley idler arm bushing from NAPA. They had it sent from a warehouse in Tennessee(sp?). It was about $9.

Had my bushings removed when i powdered coated frame.A friend custom made me new bushings.Have a extra set i can get the dia. if anybody needs it.

Sure man! Measure them out and post what you come up with. Everyone should want to know.

I measured the extra set on bushings. OD 1.466,length 1.838, has a steel insert bushing OD.826,ID .641.My friend couldn't remember what he made them out of,made them a couple of years ago.they look like they are made out of a hard poly type material
