Default 1LE Lower control arms

Does anyone have a link to where I could get these?

Or, does anyone have a link to where I could get a replacement rubber piece for the factory arms?

you can get the exact same Moog bushings from summitracing as well... minus a premium.

You're right except that you have to order 2 of them.. as a "kit" is only 2 bushings.

So, 23.99 x 2 = 48 or so before shipping. So, I'd save a little.

Question:

I found the bushings for $41 from GMpartsdirect.com.

It says they're with the "performance option", I'm guessing thats the 1LE?
