Rear Suspension question
 
When the rear bushing wear is it all or just some. Just saw that u have to replace the whole swing arm cause they dont sell just the bushings. The wishbone is 300+ and the only resonable part is the guide link. I was going to replace the bushings before I got new tires. The parts alone are about 1300 hundred or so for both side.

Get what u need in pairs. U might only need the rear upper control arms if your camber is negative. The front toe arms might still be ok. Check ecstuning and bavauto first for better pricing.

My left rear tire is getting uneven inside wear,which is making annoying rubbing noise on highway speeds.
When I went for alignment the SA said that the right Swing arm's bushing is worn and the whole thing needs to be replaced ,no way to change the bushing alone.
It's So expensive just for one side and now I read that they need to be changed in pairs..it makes sense to me,but SA didn't say anything about the other side,he said,it's good,no need to change..odd,no?

Finally,did you get those changed?
How much was it about?

I changed my upper control arms and guide links. got an alignment. swing arms were fine.
