AA993TT

I had my mechanic look over the new purchase recently and he mentioned that the bushings on the control arms are torn and that you cant get just the bushings, you have to replace the whole control arm...is this true? I am also in the process of changing my username since it doesnt really apply anymore. Thanks.

Sorry to say, they are a part of the entire A-arm assembly...

How many miles are on the car???

AA993TT

45,000 miles

You can press out the old and press in new monoballs....

or put in polygraphite maybe. If it's the front lower arm, the front one is oddly put in there-

I would NOT put monoballs in any street car,.....

AFAIK, there are no urethane or any other plastic bushings made for the 993's (and I'm glad this is the case). Too many frictional and squeaking issues.

New control arms are $ 432/each. For better handling, you may use the Carrera RS arms at
$ 632/each which have harder rubber bushings.
