Bushings. Anyone replace them?

[shastamonk]

My wifes 04 CS has 90K onit and the front control arm bushings are worn out. Anyone replaced the bushings instead of the arms? I'd like to install poly this time.

Thanks,

Scott

I can see bushings are worn by looking at them and probe with a pickel fork. The handling is sloppy. It makes noises going over speed bumps.

I think the parts were about $200ea and my dealer charged for 3hr time $225. I ordered the parts through suncoast porsche

Did you replace the entire arms or just the bushings?

Thanks!
