We have an '89 244 that needs a lot of front suspension work. The front tires are exhibiting abnormal wear on the outer edge of the tread. Upon inspection, it looked like the front control arm bushings are shot.

To be honest, the "aftermarket" brand description listed under so many of the FCP Groton and eEuroparts suspension componnents scares me. I had a bad experience with a set of no-name torque arm bushings and dont want to repeat it.

I am comfortable with the Boge rear lower control arm bushing listed by FCPG. However, there are no Boge front bushings listed anywhere I can find. Will I need to go to the (gulp) dealer?

Also, I haven't been able to bring myself to try urethane bushings yet. Has anybody had any experience with the Super Pro urethane lower control arm bushing kit (SPF637K, $29.00)?

Thanks!
