Lightbulb Lower Control Arm Rear Bushing Sleeve...do i have to get one custom machined?

Hi everyone I have been searching for the last 2 days for a way to get a new sleeve for my LCA rear bushing since mine is frozen to the bolt and I am gonna have to hack it off with sawzall . Ive already searched the forum for a long time and basically came up with TWO options. Number 1 is to have one machined out of aluminum by a machine shop and Number 2 is to buy one off eBay but I cant find one anywhere on eBay. Anyone have a link? I need some help guys im about to cut the bolt off tomorrow and I gotta start looking for a machine shop if I gotta have one custom made. Thanks

Thanks for the response k7q but I dunno it doesnt really seem worth it to buy a whole used lower control arm. Im sure he doesnt want to sell it for cheap. I could get a sleeve machined for prolly under 50 bucks i hope.

His prices are pretty cheap. Or get the prothane rear bushing kit. Full kit is like 100 they come with sleeves also. Not sure if you can just buy the lca bushings.

And as far as the Prothane bushings kit, they dont come with sleeves for the rear bushing on the front lower control arm...i have the kit already thats the issue. Anyways I looked on ebay already and cant find any "aluminum sleeve" kit. If anyone could provide a link i would be soooo thankful!

ISFFun is the member that machined the sleeves/ had the sleeves made.
