Default Need help with bushings...

The rear of my 92 ES300 likes to sway a bit. I took it to a local shop and they told me I need to replace both arms that the bushings are located in. Thats fine and dandy but they quoted me $180 per arm and I need two of them.

Can someone please tell me what they are called, and maybe even a cheaper place to find them and get them here quickly. I was looking around www.rockauto.com but can't find lateral arms at all, and in the FSM theyre just called suspension arms.....

Please help so I don't have to listen to my wife complain about me taking her Focus to work anymore!!!! =)

Are they talking front or rear? For the front on rockauto you can buy just the bushing or the entire arm with bushings. THe arm with bushings are aroung $70 a piece. 180 with labor probably isn't all that bad, but you could probably do it yourself if you have some tools and a little mechanical ability.

Picked up both rear control arms from www.rockauto.com for $133.13 for both, including shipping. I'm probably going to try to tackle them this weekend and hope the alignment isn't that far off when I try to match the new ones to the old ones... Wish me luck!

And also if anyone needs a 5% coupon code from Rock Auto just let me know...
