Radius or Radial Arm??

Well my car makes squeeking sounds whenever you turn the in place and doing a 5mph drive in a parking lot. I thought it was bushings or control arms but I took it to the shop and my boy said its the Radius or Radial arms...I dont remember the exact name but he said you can only get that part from the Dealer and its about 300 a piece and its a pain in the a$$ to get work on and get out cause its a 50/50 chance a bolt might get stripped or snap off.
Do you guys know the exact name for it and is there any other places I can find the this part for cheaper other then the dealer? Thanks

So now its another problem to go with my burning oil problem and not my passenger side window motor is starting to go out...SMDH.....

Look for Compression Rod Bushings. You don't have to replace the whole arm.

Wrong. They do sell just the bushings. Their TSB now calls for just replacing the bushing, rather than the whole arm. They may call it the radius arm.
