Hi @morgal48, @willw and @jgkram,

Originally I’m only replacing the front lower control arm and also trying to find a standard bushing only for control arm link, the only thing I can find is this Polyurethane bushing for less than $40/pair.
After removing the original control arm link bushing, I noticed the Polyurethane bushing is not exactly fitted to the arm. So after doing a little research, looks like this bushing is a replacement only for EPS brand control arm link.

So what I did is to modify the control link by using a step up drill to fit the polyurethane bushing.

The ride seems okay for now since it was only installed last week and driven it only to side streets and freeway.
