Rear Lower Control Arm Bushing – Modified Auto Parts Set with Metal Sleeves
This rear lower control arm bushing is sold as a modified, aftermarket suspension part for people rebuilding the rear arms on a project car. The photos show red flanged bushing halves together with plated metal inner sleeves. Easy Life Markets offers it as listed by the supplier, and we want to be straight about one thing from the start: the supplier gives no vehicle list for this part, so you will need to match it to your arms by measurement.
The lower control arm is the link that ties the wheel hub to the body or subframe and lets the wheel travel up and down. At each end of the arm there is a bushing. It lets the arm pivot while keeping it located, and it takes a beating every time the car accelerates, brakes or hits a bump. When those bushings soften or split, the rear wheels are no longer held where the alignment put them.
What the Listing Includes
The supplier's packing list says "Rear lower control arm bushing x 1". The photos show the following pieces laid out together:
- 8 x red flanged bushing halves
- 4 x metal inner sleeves
Two halves and one sleeve make up one complete bushing position, so the photos show enough for four positions. The supplier does not confirm the piece count in writing. If you need it confirmed, message us before you order. Grease, bolts and the control arms themselves are not listed as included.

The supplier does not publish diameters, lengths or a hardness rating for this part. We have left those lines out instead of guessing.
How to Check It Against Your Car
No make, model or year is listed, and there is no reference number to cross-check. That makes measuring the only reliable route:
- Remove one old bushing, or measure the arm with it pressed out. You need the inside diameter of the eye in the arm, the width of the eye, and the diameter of the bolt that passes through.
- Send those three numbers to us through the contact page. We will ask the supplier for the matching dimensions of this set.
- Order only once the numbers agree. A bushing that is slightly too small will walk in the arm, and one that is too large will not go in at all.
It takes a little longer than clicking "buy", but it saves you from stripping the rear suspension for a part that does not fit.
Why a Two-Piece Bushing with a Sleeve
The design in the photos is a common one for modified suspension parts. Each half pushes into the arm from one side, and the flange on each half sits against the face of the arm. The metal sleeve runs through the middle, and the bolt clamps on the sleeve instead of crushing the bushing. That lets the arm rotate around the sleeve as the suspension moves. It also means the halves can usually be pushed in by hand or with a vice, where a one-piece factory bushing needs a press.
Signs the Old Rear Arm Bushings Are Worn
- A knock or clunk from the rear over bumps or when pulling away
- The rear of the car feeling vague or stepping sideways under power
- Uneven wear across the rear tyres
- Rear alignment that will not stay in specification
- Rubber that is cracked, torn or pulled away from its outer shell
Installation Tips
- Support the car securely on stands and take the load off the arm before undoing its bolts.
- Press the old bushing out without scoring the bore of the arm, then clean the bore back to bare metal.
- Use the grease recommended for the bushing material on the bore, the flanges and the sleeve. A dry two-piece bushing is the usual cause of squeaks.
- Push one half in from each side, then slide the sleeve through.
- Tighten the pivot bolts to the service manual figure for your car with the suspension at normal ride height.
- Have the rear alignment checked afterwards.
Control arm bushings are part of what keeps the rear wheels pointing the right way. If you are not set up for this kind of work, have the set fitted by a qualified mechanic.
Keeping Them Quiet
Two-piece bushings with a sleeve like to be clean and greased. If a squeak develops after a few months, the fix is normally to take the arm bolt out, clean the sleeve and re-grease it. Check the pivot bolts for tightness whenever the car is on a lift.
Who This Set Is For
It is for home builders and workshops refreshing the rear arms on a modified car, who are comfortable measuring parts and confirming sizes before buying. If you want a part you can order by vehicle name alone, this listing does not give you that.
Common Questions
Which cars does it fit? The supplier does not say. Send us your arm and bolt measurements and we will check them against the supplier's dimensions.
Is it a genuine part from a vehicle maker? No. It is an unbranded aftermarket part sold for modified cars.
Is it for the front or the rear? The supplier's packing list describes it as a bushing for the rear lower arm.
