I'm getting ready to replace the upper and lower control arm bushings in the rear of my 01 QX4. Should I stick with the OEM bushings or get after market?
I can get the OEM for $152.32 delivered from regional dealer.

OEM is always the most reliable choice. Either way though, replacing the control arm bushings is impossible without the proper bushing press tools.

20 ton press will do the trick. I ordered the Infiniti bushings.
