Subject:      Re: Front end bushings -' 88 GL

Jim, I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you on this.

The most expensive option is original design upper control arm bushings.

If you consider the price of a couple of sets of original design bushings, the price of labor of replacing them a couple of times, a couple of alignments, and probably the price of replacing a set of tires with worn out inside edges, there is nothing more expensive than original. And this is only for maybe 40,000 miles, at the very best. And this doesn't begin to include the personal cost of the aggravation of not being able to fix something so simple.

Been there, done that.

Now, I agree there is a bit of price difference in the various aftermarket upgrade bushings but this difference is small change compared to the "total" price of original.
