i would even check dc auto out of NC. Their prices aren't bad and sometimes you can negotiate.

About 5k miles ago I installed these Vertex rebuilt rear lower control arms with poly bushings up front on my '02S and have been very pleased so far.

When the time comes (soon I'm afraid) I'll be replacing all the front suspension pieces with Vertex remans.

Not sure you're going to save much by fitting new poly bushings yourself - unless your time is worth $10/hr (mine's worth at least $12).

price on "inner and outer" ( I dont know what they are talking about) bushings are about 75$ each. so that would be 300$ for both sides.
otherwise I can get the whole arm from vertex for 330$ for both sides.

Are they pressure fitted or just slide on? I have to take them off any way so the extra work is negligible unless you have to have a press fitter to install.

It would seem that the price difference is so small, that I should just get it from vertex.
