Default can someone do me a favor?

I need a new set of axle bushings for my car, problem is the local ford wants 36$ for one, most of you know there 2 on the diff housing.. Could anyone check pricing at there local ford dealerships? I would be more than happy to paypal the total price of the bushings plus extra for the hassel if its that much cheaper. There the axle bushings where the upper control arm connects to the housing.. thanx!

ok then...

These upper control arm bushings are good to replace when replacing or upgrading the upper arms. We don't recommend replacing these bushings with urethane, due to the increased bind, and stress to the chassis

the stress to the chassis will be minimal, even less with good control arms and subframe connectors.
think geometry. that bushing is the last part of the suspension that gets torqued when you dump it.
