my 93 has a tomken lift, about 3". the control arms are the old style, tomken changed them about 98. the bushings are all shot. i called tomken today, they supply all bushings, save the axle end of the upper arms. they say that those would be oem. just got off the phone with the local dealership, they want 70 bucks for the pair, prepaid, no return. can anyone advise as to whether or not this is accurate, and if there is an aftermarket bushing that will fit.
thanks
 
Yes, they are OEM.

You can either clean out your old bushing, leaving the outer metal sleeve in the axle end, and press in some poly inserts.

Or, you can take the entire unit out, and replace it with some frame side bushings from stock UCAs.

I just did the poly ones, and am happy with the results.

You'd want #32 off of the diagram in your link.

Honestly though, for ease of replacement, I'd go with the poly insert.

Do a search on Ebay for "Mako".

They should have poly inserts FS.
