Has anyone else done this? Any traps?
Cheaper than just the bushes here - Nope.
Easier to replace the entire arm - Yup.
But really the factory arms are pretty pathetic. I'd either:
a. Ante up for a set of aftermartket arms, or,
b. Get a set of used arms for next to nix from others that have upgraded, or,
c. Combo of a. & b.
