Hi, I have a 05 cruiser with 128xxx has the 2.4 non turbo. I replaced the control arms in both sides last summer because the bushings were bad and new bushings were $46 and to have the pressed in was $50 each side so do the math might as well just get a new arm right. Well just got new tires on it and the shop told me my bushings need to be replaced. I was like what the heck I just replaced those last summer, he told me that the cruisers are hard on bushings. Is this something I can expect every couple of years or is there a bushing that does not fall apart after a year. The guy told me to buy Moog. I am currently looking around and found some that dont have to pressed in that you kinda put them together in the place of the old one. They are call Energy Suspension bushings. I just want something that will last...maybe I went cheep the first go round.

I would check out moog, or energy suspension bushings.
I have the same issue, replaced my arms with joints and bushings last febuary of 13. Had it re-inspected last month and low and behold...........they're shot. Turns out most bushings just suck to begin with. However I've put moog in almost everything else and have had zero issues. energy suspension are supposed to be top notch as well ![]() |

First off $50. Each to press in is a crime. Now there is a new problem solver bushing. Do a search of new new LCA bushings. And you should see the thread. The should be the last ones you need.

I've got a 2006 PT with 147k miles on it. I bought the car new, and to date have had 6 sets of lower control arm bushings on the car. That's roughly one set every year to year and a half. I've tried Moog, Mopar, Napa... etc. Nothing seems to last for me. Good luck!

If in doubt you need them. Take a picture from behind your tire and post them up. We can tell you. Pretty obvious when there bad.
