rear suspension sway

Need some expertise ...2 years ago I had a really bad sway in the back end when going down the highway especially when I had slight weight in the back. when you would hit a shallow hole the vehicle will rock.....struts are good and coils were replaced. The culprit at the time I believe was the rear lower control arm ( looks like a dog bone). the one that bolts to the rear axle and body on both sides. I replaced it with a used set as they were to expensive at the dealer...well my sway is back the bushings are worn out..dealer says upper bushing is available but not the lower..some say you can use the same bushing at both ends...has anyone done this job before and can the bushings be replaced successfully at both ends.

You can get bushings for both the upper and lowers, but not OEM. I'm pretty sure the lowers are all that's available with OEM parts.

Whiteline has both upper, and lower bushings available. When was the last time you replaced your sway bar bushings, and sway bar link bushings? Body roll is larger contributed by the sway bar links, and worn out bushings.

i had a mechanic look at those as well they appear fine .. if i rock the vehicle you can see the control arms moving on the bottom side
