Lower control arms - front and rear

[ygoslo]

I searched but couldn't find the exact info I need...

I need new front and rear lower control arms for my pre-facelift Galant. I'll get something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-99...spagenameZWDVW for the front, but I need to know if these will also suit the rear. If not, what are my other options?

I'm also going to need new swaybar bushes front & rear, are these available separately or will I need to buy one of the complete bushing kits that has been discussed lately?

The rears are different, both will be available from mitsi, probably quite expensive though.

The swaybar bushes will also be available from mitsi, doubt they'd be expensive enough to worry about importing them.

Yeah trying to avoid going through Mitsubishi for the arms if I can... The $1k price tag is a little silly. Is it possible to replace the bushes in the rear arms or is it the same as the front, can only replace the bushes by replacing the whole arm?

if you're buying that front lower control arm.. you might as well buy the the whole front control arms since the ball joints on them would be loose already..

like this set.. control arms

that includes 6 control arms for the front (upper control arm, lower control arm and the curved control arm)

Yeah saw that one, wasn't sure if it would be overkill but you make a good point. Will probably buy that set if I can find rear control arms for a decent price... Not looking good though.

im actually waiting for a response from an ebay store which i am buying 6 arms (all of the front ones) and tie rod ends etc from.. he is going to see what kind of deal can be done with regards shipping....

ANYONE HAVE THESE IN THEIR CAR

 

[matchtheclown]

A couple of people have them.

 

[timmae2006]

are they needed if you get swat bars?

 

[matchtheclown]

These are the front control arms right? I'm about to order them. What are people doing with the rears? I need to do something about them too.

either one of those kits will fit..

with the rears, I haven't heard anyone having issues apart from the bushings and the hub bearing..

So getting one of those pro-thane kits is the go for the rear? I was hoping to avoid urethane. I might see if pedders can re-press them in rubber.

I hate urethane
