3800 Suspension bushings

[imported_Ron Vogel]

Looking for PN#'s for the lower control arms for the front. I can't seem to find any, also looking to do a full roller if there are any availible. With out cars being FWD, I'm surprised there isn't more out there on this.

Antpearl e-mailed me the parts list, but unfortunately it's just for the stock parts. I called over to energy suspension, but they don't have a listing for it. However, since I'm getting an extra set of LCA's I have time. Energy said they would find a set that will work, or work with me on creating a new bushing for our application. I have replaced the control arm bushings with poly's on other cars, and it's a huge difference. It kills all deflection, and would prolly be an awesome upgrade for FWD's.

I was looking for poly bushing for the control arms too, but couldnt find them and only got the stock ones.

I need help installing these if not I would just but the whole are for like 70something each arm new from GMPD.

I've got some LCA's coming in from ED that I'm rebuilding. I'll sell you my old ones to rebuild for cheap if you want. It's a lot easier to do if you have the time off the car. Also, the poly bushings use the casings from the stock bushings, so they don't need to be pressed out. You do need to burn out the old rubber though.
BTW, Ed doesn't have any low mile ones right now, except for some 2004s that are brand new, but the '04s don't have the spot for the sway bar.
