Title: Front Lower Control Arms - Rubber bushes
Post by: Joesson on March 22, 2022, 11:46
This topic has been discussed at length in the past.
I do recall at least one member expressing the view that (unobtainable) OE bushes would be his preferred choice.
I found these some time ago, and offer them for consideration/ discussion:

For me the important question is how easy is the fitting of these bushes. I can remember fitting bushes even with metal cans on Cortinas were right pigs many years back.

Replacement a-arms (with all the bushes) are so cheap (even for the good ones), It's hard to see why one would change the bushes.
