who sells front upper control arm bushings?

Just called my local dealer and they wanted 75 dollars a peice for some front upper control arm bushings. Could someone point me to some replacement bushings, they don't have to be OEM.

Didn't know you could just replace the bushings. I just replaced the whole controll arm. I have found with my eclipse's that replacing the bushings is a cheap fix, they work, but still do not handel the same as they would have. Malloy Mazda is great they have alot of our parts in stock call them, my local dealer is clueless as well when it comes to these cars, they might as well wear a Factory Ford Trained logo on there shirts.

You can replace the front bushings at around $55/ea. But the balljoints can't be replaced, which is why many simply change the whole arm (bushings and balljoints).
