I always buy my control arm bushings at the local O Reilly parts store. They stock them.

local autoparts will have just about anything you require for your suspension for these trucks the parts for these trucks aint rare and no need to pay shipping

The reason I say Rockauto is that I have found that they are usually cheaper with shipping than the local parts houses like Oreilly and Advance. Upper Moog K6098 Rock price $45, Advance price $56. Lower moog K6147 Rock price $59, Advance price $75

The local price without tax $262
$280 with 7% tax

The rock price without shipping $208
Figure about $22 shipping max and its still cheaper by $50 @$230

at rock you can get it all for about $100 if you go with the spicer service grade parts

I purchased the ball joint from www.autopartsway.com and had great experience. Great prices and prompt delivery

redbaron69 · 06-24-2009, 02:27 PM

can you get just the bushing or is it the whole shaft

mbgmike · 06-24-2009, 04:50 PM

We are less than all the above

We sell the Moog ENTIRE shaft with bushings for $46.00 for the upper. lower $50.00
The service grade Moog for $35.00

Mike that is not bad at all, I will keep that in mind. By the way I see you have retail outlet in Houston where are you guys in Houston, because I am in Austin and visit Houston on regular basis.

Most of the auto places I checked around here only had the inner bushings without the outer shells. I found them through truckshop: rear axel control arm bushing part number 60-14609 $12 each.

Isn't the question about front lower CA bushings?
