Buying used lower control arms
Hi guys,
I am replacing two bent lower control arms on the passenger side of my S (front & rear) and I'm wondering, is there anything that I should look for when purchasing used control arms?
I really don't want to spend $275 each on new control arms. Should I ask for bushings and ball joints to be included? Idk if the joints on my S are torn or not ( it's still sitting at the shop).

It would be ideal for the control arms you purchase to have the bushings on them, that way you don't have to get them pressed in. Ball joints are not an issue if they're popped, just bolt them back on.
Just make sure they aren't bent and the bushing are in good condition. (no rips, tears, obvious damage)
