Alignment issues

Went to get the alignment done today but it turns out the front lower links and rod bushing are cracked. Also the left lower ball joint boot is cracked and leaking grease. Should i just replace them with oem parts or can i get aftermarket bushing (Whiteline?). I believe Straffe carries the Whiteline stuff but i dont know anything about it. Thanks for any input guys.

Anybody swap these bushings out yet? It shouldnt be a big deal. I have a ball joint press that should make life a whole lot easier.

Whiteline looks like great products, like they say "poly is much better than the rubber bushing our cars came with." I did my wife's whole Vette with poly bushing and new shocks, that one tight ride....the Vette!

Sweet. I already pmd dustin@straffe. I found ball joints on ebay for $18. The tech said only the boot is torn but since its apart i might as well do them anyway.

Sure glad you clarified that. I was starting to think you were bragging.

That may be why I included that in my post, I knew you'd get the wrong idea!
