Yeah, I’m a female. I don’t see what the issue is there. I’ve been working on my own vehicle ever since I was 18. I’ve taught myself everything. I know how to do no father figure. I’m not that knowledgeable and vehicles and experienced, but I will not let a man work on my car because of that reason in that reason right there the doubt like I’m just some distress. I can’t do anything like that blonde stuck on the side of the highway lol

appreciate the concerns though

I’m thinking you can do anything I can do. Probably better!

Rockauto has control arms listed….A/C Delco are 165-170.00 ea. complete with lower ball joint and bushings. Now as I remember, I had more trouble drilling and driving out the ball joint rivets. They were tough to get out. My replacement ball joints bolted back in. …but lot cheaper….think parts to rebuild mine were about 50.00 ea.

These end links, seeing as you must remove the strut end most likely damaging it order two one for each side

Before you decide to order parts to rebuild your control arms, you should find a shop that can remove the current rear bushings and press the new ones in, and find out how much they charge for it. It might drive the price of rebuilding up enough that you just decide to buy new control arms. That is, unless you can do it yourself.

The rear bushing he’s referring to is the rearward bushing on the front control arm.
NOT a bushing on the rear of the car
