Couldn't find anything through a quick search.

But wife's 06 went to Nissan today and they say the front control arms need to be replaced because of bushings. Not sure when Nissan decided to not make them replacable.

What options are there? Are there any that are make to be pressed into the OEM arms? Aftermarket arms that are cheaper(OEM quoting $900 for a pair)?

Thanks

Been through this problem twice living in South Africa we get ripped off on replacement parts , so having a mate in the USA I decided to import replacement lower control arms thinking they would be better quality how wrong was I . Anyway my solution was to find an old school moulding and bushing company and they remoulded the bushes at a fraction of the price and what a difference car like new again currently on 150 000 km and going strong , by the way the replacement arms lasted 18000 km and packed up completely 2 months before warranty was up car was actually a death trap and it is my wife's car carrying teenagers around fortunately it is the tow vehicle for a ski boat and I happened to use it to the shop one evening and noticed the problem .
