WTB Front upper control arms

Got a pair, you can close this thread thanks!

I somehow managed to bend my front upper control arms while pressing out my bushing sleeves.

Looking for both upper control arms, damaged bushings or not. I just need them to be straight.

There is a wrecked 8 at a yard I frequent, I'll call them. You want both?

Yea man if you could that would be awesome!

I still need to check the pass side, It didn't seem to fit but I want to make sure.

No problem, I think it's an auto so I'll have to check that it is a Sport since it's and 04' LY.

it doesn't do any good to put better bushings in if the ball joint is worn

I'm pretty sure they have the same upper arms.

Did you put the bushings in the right way? Ask me how I know :)

LOL yea I did, I followed the ES instructions. Minus the pressing of the sleeve, apparently the upper control arm metal is soft enough to bend.
