Need Some Part Help!

my mechanic just told me I need a lower arm bushing for my 1990 camry and he said the dealer dont sell it alone. It comes with the lower arm and it cost $95 can anybody help me find a bushing or a price cheaper than 95$? Thanks!!

if its the lower control arm then your mechanic is right. usually that bushing goes bad because of a power steering fluid leak. is it the right side lower control arm? And thats a good price. i think they are more than that for that part fromt the dealer. It calls for 1 hour labor so figure anywhere from 60-80 bucks instalation. Check for a power steering leak and fix it or your going to have to replace that arm again eventually. this happened to my moms 91 v6 camry. is yours a 4cyl or v6?

While your mechanic is changing your lower control arm bushing have him check out your front wheel bearings as well. Mine just took a crap and it makes your car vibrate like a bastard when they go out. Just a little heads up.
