Best VZ parts

[Matt Matt Matt]

Hi Guys. Some parts advice please.
I’m looking to replace the lower control arms and caster bushes myself on my 04 VZ. When I search for parts, I find prices vary wildly. There’s a lot of on line parts available for around $150 for the full set, or over $500 from a store like Repco. Any tips on the best ones to go for?
I thought I would replace the whole control arm as I’ve heard old bushes can be hard to get out

Leave repco alone...They are overpriced to buggery.

Get replacement control arms.....Just unbolt old ones and bolt new ones back in....And get alignment afterwards

Caster rod bushes...Get the adjustable ones.....Allows more scope to get the car driving straight (in a nutshell)

Thanks VC. I’ve not heard of the adjustable caster bushes, where would I got those?
