Hi all,
My 3200GT is going to mot, i found that the rear upper and lower control arm bushings are worn.

Are these rubber bushing replaceable? Or must this be purchased as a whole with the control arm?

The power steering rack end on the right is also worn, it's also the same kind of rubber bushing. So same question, is it replaceable? I guess this part can be bought separately because it's threaded into the main steering rack. However I cant find any supplier on line. Any idea please??

Following is the link of an upgrade to tie rod of the rear control arms, please take a look, it's somehow a linked issue.

The rear arm issue you have are not bushes, they are ball joints and your's seem pretty rooted. There must be a huge amount of play in them. Short answer is you have to replace the whole arm. You can't refurb the ball joints.
