And your dealer probably wants $350 for the part. What are the symptoms of your current control arms?

stock a arms, stock struts and coilovers here. I'm pretty sure there are no aftermarket arms. We just now have creative steel working on replacement bushings, but they're not even available yet. Stock is your only option that I am aware of.

I've found Scoggin-Dickey to be much cheaper that GMpartsDirect, which is part of the Flow automotive group.
