hey so i just got a takeoff rear end, but it did not come with an upper control arm bushing. is it worth it to upgrade the bushing to a poly urethane one? or is there not much reason too. also, anyone know the part number for a stock one bc i called a dealership and they didnt seem to know what i was talking about

 

I have a rod end bushing in mine, kinda wish I had a poly because of the noise transfer of the rod end, I would just say order a poly bushing and call it quits. You will probably be looking around 10 - 15 for a rubber bushing anyhow.

You can search for the bushing on there, just put your car information in there.

 

alright cool will do. ill start looking for some poly bushings online

 

Congrats on the 8.8 find! They are getting harder to come across!

 

yup lol. if anyone else needs one hit up JimC. his contact might have some more

 

I forgot to tell you about that bushing. We just removed it from my old rear end and inserted it in the new one. But there are upgrades out there and I keep thinking I should have upgraded.

Here is one from Steeda for example
