Default P2 Control arms / wishbones

I'd like to upgrade to polybushes on the control arms of my 06 d5 V70. I figured I'd get an old set of arms and get the bushes pressed so it would just be a swap.

Does anyone have any lying around?

While we're here, assume 2001 control arms would be compatible. There's one at the breakers.

Just thought I'd check here first.

Default Control Arms

I have a set of alloy arms removed from my 2002 boxed up neatly and ready to go.
Alas, I live on "the other side". If you know anyone with the airlines who fly to NYC I'll bring 'em to the airport.

Fitting polys to a junkyard set of arms was a huge time saver. You'll love the improvement.

They'll fit (both mine and the breaker's '01 arms) as long as your arms are not the steel ones.

Which brand/part # polys are you using?

Cheers mate. I'm originally from your side, tough way further north, but it doesn't look like I'll be crossing anytime soon.

Looking at powerflex bushes, though I've read the rear one makes it very difficult to reinstall. Do you have any recommendations otherwise? What did you use?
