So I replaced my caster correction (CC) radius control arm bushing with stock bushing from BAP in Jan. 2 weeks ago I took the radius arms out and the bushing are junk. 3 months of street driving and 1 mild wheeling trip (Back road to CK and down DeSoto) and they were toast. CBT wants $30+ per bushing. That is a little more than I can afford to spend right now.

Rockauto.com has several different brands. Unfortunately, I don't know which brand I got from BAP, I will call tomorrow and find out. But I need to get my bushing ordered ASAP. What brand bushings have other used and what was your experience with them?
 
NAPA carries a decent bushing for the FCA's. The part # you need is: NCP 2673544 List is around $25. Right now it shows the warehouse at Thomas and I-17 has 7 in stock.
 
Several of us have picked up TRW bushings from Rockauto. Not much of a track record yet. But so far so good.
 
I have installed the TRW bushings from Rock Auto, looked good, but time will tell how durable? IIRC they are ~$10ea, if I were paying more, would go for factory, they are well proven. One other local reported very poor life from Moog brand.
 
I'm the poor member with poor luck with Moog.
They might have been sitting in a warehouse since 1995, so I'm not 100% sure it's Moog's fault.
But within 6mo of installing them, both frame-side bushings had almost no rubber left. And the axle side ones were chunking out.
Put OEMs in the frame ends and haven't looked back. Have a set of OEM axle ends waiting for me to stop being so lazy.
 
So I found my old receipt, the bushing kit I got was made by BECK/ARNLEY. The new bushing I ordered are TRW. I guess we will see how they hold up...when they get here. Ordered them Tuesday and they still aren't here, hoping they are there when I get home.
 
Beck/Arnley parts are typically re-boxed OEM pieces or OEM supplier pieces. I've rarely had bad parts from them.
