Just to go Bursons and they'll order bushes for you from Fulcrum. Polyurethane and not expensive at all. Just an absolute b*tch to put the front bushes in coz you have to take of the lower control arm which just happens to be connected to your ball joint. :evil:

Bush or the control arm itself?

Sounds about right. Bushes on average cost about $10~$15 so the most you should pay for them would be like $25~$30 and even then that's a bit on the pricy side if you gotta buy a sh*tload of bushes.

You order these from Camskill and they're really good. I've ordered on two separate occasions from them recently and they've delivered the goods in about 4-5 working days.
