Default Upper Control Arms

Need to replace the upper control arm bushings on my 95 S10 blazer 4wd. Can anybody recommend control arms with bushings and ball joints? Have seen prices from $30 to $150 per arm. Just looking for a good replacement at a good price that will fit with no problems. Thanks.

Why not just buy the bushings and ball joints and put them in your stock arm? Can probably get better parts for less that way

Look on amaxon for the k series control arms they come with new bushings already pressed in and greasable ball joints not terribly expensive iirc about 85 dollars each the time you'll waste pounding out the old bushings and drilling or chiseling the rivets on the old ball joints is worth far more than what you save by refurbing the old control arm

Also those are not Moog ball joints they are whatever the fabricator installs. At least that was the case on the ones I bought for my wife's trailblazer.
