Has anyone found a good source for control arm bushings? I'm looking for uppers, lowers, front and back packaged in a kit. Not going auto-crossing, just want something for a stable ride. I've reached the saturation point, the more I look the more brain dead I go.

Which car ?? The latest Buick ?
I buy ProThane kits. Usually need 1 for the front and 1 for the rear plus sway bar, if needed.
My reasoning for urethane is I go thru all the same work for either rubber or urethane and the urethane will outlast rubber by a long time, even with the car just sitting a lot.
I've got their polygraphite bushing in Blackie. Late-model feel, no squeaks. Their nice as they have one-stop-shopping for complete kits

Thanks guys, I ordered from PST. Mitch, these are for the Buick, your correct the urethane parts will last longer but the rubber ones I just took out lasted 50 years.

Does PST have the slots for grease retention around the inner sleeve ?

Don't think so, I'll let you know for sure when they arrive.
