Rear control arm replacements

[Mike&Ike]

The prices on the Whiteline are not bad. The $80 for shipping a pound of poly is. They come from Australia.

Put the part number in eBay and they pop up without the insane shipping.

I typed in W63378 from Whiteline's site and it did come up on ebay motors but it said this part number was for 2003-up in the application guide. Doesn't make sense when that is the part number that comes up on Whiteline's site.

Has anyone on this forum actually narrowed down the availabile options for the upper and lower rear control arm bushings.?
Is there a generic Polly bushing that can be used?
also, is there a need for adjustables arms for mild ( 0-4 ) inch rear lift. Such as superlex coils?

This. I put a factory rubber bushing at one end and a Summit Machine Flex Joint at the other to keep the stress down on the factory bushing, hoping in turn it will last longer. I can 100% say that the factory bushings on both ends do limit articulation. I noticed immediately that my rear axle drooped out and stuffed easier and further as soon as i swapped my new links in.

Nate... Did you show those in your 3rd gen build thread? Did you put the rubber end at the frame?

Yeah they should be in there somewhere, and I had the oem rubber mount at the axle end. Flex joint at the frame.
