Default Radius arm bushing are too dang high..

Where is a good place to order a set of rear radius arm bushings that won't cost an arm and a leg? Poly or rubber..

I like Rock Auto if you can get a good brand name. I got Moog (rubber) bushings there for my front radius arms, on sale even. AutohausAZ is another place I like to shop. I think rubber keeps the water out better.

I didn't see any on Rockauto, that's one of my goto parts stores. I'd be interested in more experiences with AutohausAZ, I've seen the name in searches.

So I'm assuming no one replaces these or y'all just pay the crazy steep prices?

I replaced them last year when I swapped to castor corrected arms. I considered going with poly bushings but the previous OE lasted 17 years so why not go back OE. The only drawback besides the price was pressing them out/in. I had a shop do it as there was no way my home press could
manage. And even the whole struggled a bit with their 20 ton.

Where did you get them from? What kind of pricing were they? OEM or aftermarket?

I got OEM from Rovers North. I don’t recall the total cost for all 6 bushings for the front, probably $200-$300, plus $200 to press out the old and press in the new from a shop close to me. I also got some new OE bolts to replace the existing corroded ones that didn’t look good.
