They have two voided slots in each bush which assists in keeping harshness to a minimum. Cost was about $65 supply only for them Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84502-fg-upper-control-arm-bushes/#findComment-1377278 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whiteline version of the bushes are the same except they are black in colour instead of red Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84502-fg-upper-control-arm-bushes/#findComment-1377289 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulled the arm out of the car to check and found front top arm bush torn completely. So I had no choice other than to replace all 4 top arm bushes. I wouldve prefered the black coloured whiteline replacement bushes but couldnt get them overnight (due to a supply issue at the time), so I just went with the redranger versions of the same bushes.Fitment was piss easy and I havnt noticed any increase in harshness etc over the stock rubber items.
