Lower control arm bushings worn?

I have a clunking noise when going over bumps and around corners that I think are caused by the lower control arm bushings which appear to be worn. Using a pry bar I can see that the bushings are cracked around their circumference. I have replaced the ball joints which were worn; this helped with the problem somewhat.
Is this a typical problem with the control arm bushings? Does anyone have any used control arms for sale that are in good shape? Is there a group buy available yet on the control arm bushings?
Thanks, in advance. Ken

Once there is enough demand there will be a group buy for these bushings. Check the group buy forum and add your name to the list if you are still interested.

thumps over bumps could mean sway bar links are worn grab them shake them and see if there is any looseness in the parts
