Hi everyone,
New jeep owner here. just picked up a 1997 Sport. Now going through it and preforming all the neglected and deferred maintenance.
One thing is the rear lower control arm bushings are pretty worn. The jeep has an unknown brand 4" lift from at least 15 yrs ago. I pulled a bushing set from one control arm to get measurements and such.

So, is it possible to get a replacement set just from the measurements of the existing ones?

The (split) bushing half is 1-1/2' OD x 7/8" long of the insertable part with a 1/8' wide X 1-15/16 OD flange

The steel sleeve is 2-9/16" long with 3/4" OD and about 9/16" ID

See pic.

The control arms look to have small threaded holes for zerk fittings on the bottom where the bushings go (can't see in pic) to grease up the bushings, but they were never installed or greased, (if that is even necessary).

I am betting the front lower control arm bushings are also in need of replacement.... so I will need enough for all four lower control arms

So, if any one has some suggestions or links to buy replacement bushings let me know.

Thanks
 
Looks like a Rough Country. Give them a call, when I replaced all the rear bushings on Sport I think it cost around $40.00 might have been cheaper, I can't remember.
