I need help folks! My lower control arm bushings are shot on both sides. I ordered aftermarkets from moog and they don't fit. I've called every ford dealer and they're telling me I have to purchase the whole lower control arms for around $300.00 each just to get the bushings. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Yep that's right.

The stock bushings are pressed in.

You'd be better off getting aftermarket control arms like Metco.

Or Sparta, a site vendor.

Your MM will handle alot better.

You might try a recycle yard for stock arms, but then those bushings might be torn up also.
