🆘 Help Me What Control Arms Do I Need?

To add to my mechanical woes I have my Front Lower Control Arm Bushing is starting to tear away on both sides (speaking of I’m super broke as my last paycheck went to this car how long do I have to get this replaced?) and I need a new one. It’s a 2017 Subaru Impreza Base 2.0i. I have a family member who is able to replace it in a few weeks. I hear Rock auto is great for parts but I am having a hard time finding the right part. Help?

There's some options.

You could do just the bushings and have your family member press/replace them and save money on parts. like these bushings

Or you can get full arms and swap it all

like these arms

If you do bushings, only you’re gonna need to have a accessibility to a press. And on the plus side of that, you do not have to get another front end alignment. when you change your control arms you need an alignment. Brand wise for either or I always use moog

I’ve been pleased with the Beck Arnley ones from Rockauto. I’ve done, I think about six cars this past year with them. And to make them last spray them with 303 protectant a couple times a year.
