    When I went to change my ball joint the bolt front bushing sleeve was rusted to the bolt. I ended up having to cut the bolt and now I need to buy a new bushing but am having trouble finding one. All the ones I have seen have a flat bottom like this one http://m.oreillyauto.com/mt/www.orei...2936&ppt=C0106

    The old one I have is tapered on both ends. Are they interchangeable or does my car have an odd ball style control arm?

    For the cost of the bushing and the pita trying to press the bushing into its spot, I'd just by a new lower control arm. But that's just me, I'm lazy and like to spend $

    I don't like to spend money. Plus I already took the time to remove the balljoint from the control arm
