Rear Control Arms

[kpnavarro]

I have noticed a clunking sound in my rear end when I go over bumps so I got underneath and noticed that the passenger side upper rear control arm had a lot of slop in it. Do you have to replace the whole arm or are there just bushings that you can replace?

Replace with urethane units from suspension.com(no affiliation), vast improvement. I replaced the upper/lower and lateral control arm bushings which really tightened things up.
The kit runs about $95.

You can replace with new rubber bushings or polyurethane ones.
If you want to go poly there are several sources - Energy Susp, ProThane, Daystar.

Thanks for all the imput, I found a full set of Energy Suspension poly bushings for the entire car on amazon for $139 on Amazon.

If your pulling the front a-frames, you might consider doing the upper and lower ball joints. Since your pulling the torsen bar, you might also go to Toyota to get new adjust and bolt hardware. This is a stress point that goes on these trucks. I also upgraded our torsen bars to 25mm Sway-a-way units, but it does stiffen it up a bit. We like it for highway and road use(more high speed stability).
