I have got into a accident a while back by haveing a women in a suv run me off the road into a speed bump at forty mph( yeah its sounds as bad as it is) all suspension was replaced but i think over time the controll arm bushing are all bad now. any one no if it is possible to replace the bushings in a 98 svt controll arm or do i need to replace the whole arm like ford says. Im only asking cuz im not sure if the bushings come seperate and if its possible to put new ones in a old arm thanks brian

Sorry, control arm bushings are not replaceable seperately.

The good news is that your cars control arms probably have the newer style 'vertical' bushing which are much cheaper. Check out the BAT catalog for info & prices on the control arms. You could buy the parts from BAT and take it to a shop and have them installed.
