Bearings?

Does anybody make a bearing to use in place of the lower control arm bushings on Mopars?

Closest thing I've seen is a grease-able shaft and nylon bushing.

I was aware of the poly & nylon bushings with greasable pins. Looks like this might be the only option. The part that scares me is that the original bushing assy presses in the LCA. The poly bushing just slips inside the old outer shell - so what keeps the LCA from not sliding back off the bushing?

Thanks for the reply.

The strut rod should keep it from sliding back off.

I don't like poly. They get old,dry and hard and will fall out in chunks when they crack.
