2008 saturn vue rear trailing arm bushing MOOG

[dabatman99]

Hi guys, I just bought a 2008 saturn vue greenline hybrid the other day. I noticed that the rear trailing arm bushings are almost shot. It seems that they are only available through GM as an entire unit (not just the bushing). I found this part number from MOOG; however no pictures and no dimensions to give me an idea if this is the bushing I'm looking for. Here it is: moog-rk642089 . I was hoping that somebody on here could help me out and save a few bucks. Thanks!

Moog part description says it's a rear lower "control" arm so it's most likely item #8 on the parts diagram below.
You need the bushing for the "trailing" arm which is item #7.



Dorman makes a replacement trailing arm bushing for the 2002-2007 Vue (p/n 523036 - $31.79 from Rock Auto), but I'm not sure if it fits your 2008...

I have great news, I found that FEBEST makes a bushing that fits. It's part number is CHAB-011 and I got 2 of them for $16.14 each on ebay. They fit great, and look exactly like the OEM. I really hope this helps out anybody that was in my situation.
