Most definitely.
probably or there part of the same piece ....normally there's multiple bushings on a lower control arm ...i guess it just depends on the vehicle and its probably easier to replace the whole arm rather then individual bushings.
Yes!
Sure if you are looking to have an accident.
Replacing just the bushings is fine unless the control arm is damaged or deformed. There is no real reason to replace the control arm otherwise, unless manufacturer specifications call for it. In those cases, though, you usually won't be able to purchase the bushings separately anyways.
The lower control arm bushing would be located at the inner pivot point where the lower control arm is mounted to the frame/crossmember. Depending on your vehicle it could have one or two bushings. The outer pivot point would be your lower ball joint.
Check lower control arm bushings.
use a ball joint separator
Currently it seems like you have no choice but to replace the complete arm, that is all I can find available.
How much does it cost to replace the upper and lower control arm bushings on a 1998 Chevrolet S-10? Upper control arm bushings are quoted at about 1.9 hours fro each side. However, if both are done then 3.5 hours total. Lower control arm bushings are 1.9 hours for one side and 3.4 hours for both sides. Just apply your shop's labor rate to the above hours. Note: Not all mechanics use the same book to estimate time for reapirs. This data is provided by Alldata. Mitchell Brothers could be different, as could the other services. Note 2: Upper control arm bushings are far easier to replace than lower control arm bushings because they are far more readily accessibly.
Rear upper & lower control arm bushings need to be replaced.
Yes
Control arm bushings are an essential need for the suspension system of your vehicle. The control arm bushings makes for a more smooth ride when on rough terrain. They allow the control arm to move and absorb shock.
