UCA bushings

I went to Kragen today to pick up new UCA bushings and they asked me if I had the 24 or the 28 mm bushings. I said HUH? Any ideas?
 
I told him axle side uca bushings. What a bone head!
 
Kinda hard to drive without the uca's :) and they have to order the bushing.
 
If/when you get the upper control arm axle end bushings post on here the brand and part number please. I have not been able to find them anywhere besides the dealer.
Thanks.
 
Got mine yesterday from the dealer,list was $29.95 each! Alignment shop looked in Spicer and Moog catalog and there was no listing,

I too had major problems with getting the stock RUBBER bushingsgo to the dealer and ask for a rear upper body end bushing from a ZJ it should be the same as a front upper axle end for a XJ. then check the price. Jim is the NAPA bushings you're refering to poly. or rubber ? My NAPA can only order poly. Neil again are those rubber or poly. my A.Z. said poly. only also. Wayne. I feel your pain..dealer calls says my bushings are in $5. to $6. ea. 45 minutes later at the counter.....$26. or $27 ea. guess my mood...
As much as I hate to throw R.E. a bone I just saw in their catalogfactory rubber bushings for $12. if memory serves. Ben give R.E. a call for rubber bushings.
Good Luck to all ...HTH & Jim & Neil post as to whether the bushings are rubber or poly.

Just got back from Auto Zone! The Correct part # is FB544 I just pulled the bushing out of the box and it is exactly what you get at the stealership. Stamped Clevite and everything for under $6.00 ea!!!
 
My local garage installed UCA bushings on my 88 XJ. I saw the box they used Moog bushings. The strange part is the bushing had Cleavit cast into it not Moog.

I had the rear leaf spring bushings replaced, the shop ended up getting the from the dealer because no one listed them in their books, go figure.

Thank for the info. on the A.Z. & NAPA rubber bushings.... I guess

suspicions.
Thanks again for the update.... Wayne & Ben there you go...
