Control arm bushings in Poly?

[nepal1344]

Does anyone know of any companies that offer front control arm bushings for a 3? Mine is 2008 but I can't seem to find any at a decent rate. Any one have any ideas for those? I'm slowly replacing all the bushings on my car since my shop tells me it looks like quite a few are going to need to be replaced in the next year or so and i'd really like to replace them all with poly not the cheap rubber ones. Thanks for any info you might have on the subject.

if you do find them, its advised to replace them all at the same time or in pairs. if you replace one side but not the other, it can give strange and uneven driving characteristics.

i think whiteline has some for the mazda 3

Hopefully it's not the dealer telling you to replace all the bushings.

Prothane 6-308-BL bushings or Energy Suspension 4-7124G is something you should look into. You can get them from Summit Racing.

It's not a dealer telling me to replace them. It's my uncle that owns his own shop and does anything i need him to for no charge on labour so it's really not advantageous for him to tell me things are bad when they're not.

Those part numbers are for rear not front. I do appreciate them and will keep them for when i do the rears. I'm really looking for fronts first though.
