[Shotimes] Rear Control Arm Bushing Squeek

[Alan Fanning]

I'm about to buy a '95 ATX SHO for the wife. One little hickup is that the
inner bushings on the rear control arms squeek when the suspension is
compressed or extended. The owner has checked with Ford and found that the
inner bushings are not available separately. Ford, in it's infinite wisdom,
requires replacement of the complete control arm, to the tune of $135 or so
apiece(!).

We're looking at using this car for "touring" as opposed to being a hot rod
(my '91 serves that purpose, thank you very much), so I'm not interested in
anything that increases ride harshness. Are there OEM-comparable aftermarket
bushings available? Any other ideas? (I'm familiar with the GTP control arm
option.)

Thanks.
