OEM ones tend to kick the bucket early, so assume any upgrades would be sweet.

Don't realize bushing itself can cost so much, given the OEM arm is ~200 each.

If you buy the upgraded bushing only, what is the best way to push out the old one and push in the new one ? I don't know any shop can reliably do this.

with a bench vice, a hand hydraulic press or a bushing press kit. Any good shop will have one or all these to their tool collection.
