Default SPL Rear camber arms...

Hey Guys! I have a quick question about SPL Rear camber arms v.1. I've noticed they have been making noise after some time. I thought the version ones were faulty but it could be that the bushing may have given out. Any ideas on replacing that bushing without replacing the entire arm? SPL is not sure what type of bushing it was since it was such a long time ago from version 1's. I would have to take it off the car and send it to them possibly. I'm trying to avoid that since its a daily car. I'm trying to see what the tradeoff would be by doing it this way as opposed to just getting the v.3 for a discount. Any positive or negative experiences? Thanks in advance.

I cant say much in the way of helping you with your bushing, but I have the new titanium camber arms and they are super awesome. Pretty too.

I don't think they made different versions for their rear arms. Only the front A-arms have been changed (V1, V2, V3). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Take a look at what rod end is on there now. I built a full race 510 suspension many years ago (showing my age) and Baker Performance Products (previously known as Baker Precision Bearing) found hear http://bakerprecision.com/ will walk you through the type of bearings available and what their application is. They sell a full range of bearings for you to choose from.

Ok sent spl some pictures and they were able to identify the bushing type for me. I purchased the bushing through them and will be installing them. Thanks for all the help guys.
