Default Front lower control arm bushing?

Is the front lower control arm bushing available as spare part?
Or do you have to buy the complete control arm?
My front bushing on the lower arm is so worn that when unbolted from the chassie it slides off with no force at all.
I can even move it slightly in kind of wiggling motion.
Guess that is no good right?
Can this bushing be bought from the big three and what is the cost?

Cheers/Peter

I checked on both 928 International and 928 Specialist homepages and it is not listed.
Also checked the PET and it is not listed separately.
That's why I'm asking the forum.
Has anyone changed the bushing?

Thanks/Peter

Peter - I bought a set of lower poly bushings a couple years ago from 928 Spec when they used to sell them. They're a PITA as they are too large and have to be turned--probably why they quit selling them (?) Anyway, they're manufactured in Austrailia by Grunts Bushings. I see on their web site they're still making them. Might be worth checking out.

Good luck,
