I'm planning on a suspension overhaul this summer, and it starts with all new control arm assemblies (all 8), with the expectation that this will replace both worn bushings and ball joints.

I understand that there are many factors to the longevity of any item, but generally, how long do stock bushings last for? I'm not going with the TM Engineering / Daizen polyurethane bushings because while it improves steering response and handling, I don't want a stiffer ride.

If any has any estimates of mileage and/or years that stock bushings last for, based on your experiences, please share them.

Thanks,
-Brian.

49k and still going strong here; or at least it doesn't need replacing yet.

My rear upper control arm bushings went at 110K. Replaced both control arms, no more squeak from hell. Also replaced rear struts at the same time, they were pretty well shot.
