      Just out of curiosity, what are the symptoms of them being shot? Loud clank/clunk when the rear wheels go over a decent bump? excessive front to back/side to side play when the back end is off the ground?

      If it works anything like the front, which it probably doesn't, you can buy just the bushing. I have an 06 Hatchback, and I replaced the front drivers side bushing.. The part cost me $19.99 and I just took off the control arm, and the bushing was sheered to ****, gave it a hit or two with the hammer and it popped out then I needed to use a screw driver and hammer to pound the surrounding lip out of it. Took the new pushing it, lined it up, and pressed it into place.. Took me about 30 minutes to an hour, and all for $20.

      Don't try to push it in by force though, if you try it yourself. It's impossible. Well sorry, damn near impossible.

      I've seen that, not oem though, it's a cross reference part that fits.

      For the price I wonder what his mark up is, I was tempted to buy one just to figure out what it was off of. But figured he eliminate the original packaging and cheaper parts don't always have numbers on them.

      These bushings will work, as I have installed them myself in an aveo! If you want a fix for the problem, you will purchase them and not wonder where the original application came from. They will work!!!!!!!

      so your the seller? and i do have an issue only because just because your around when someone needs it replaced this time, does not mean you'll be around every time. Or that a better bushing is out there, like a prothane or solid swivel replacement.

      when mine go, i will have better than oem made.
      specifically these:

      Yes, I am the seller! I found a fix for the bushing problem! I was passing this information on to save other aveo owners from changing the entire rear axle. These bushings have saved my customers a lot of money and they work perfectly. If you don't want to save customers money, that's your choice. My customers are satisfied and I have been in business for over 30 years. It is your choice whether you want to us the solution.

      Yes is this what it sounds like? I have a loud clunk on the riders side rear of my car, it sounds like a broken shock. But everything seems tight. I will try and get it up in the air this weekend to take a look at the control arm.

      someone on here mentioned a cost of $1000 for the dead axle assembly. That is outrageous, almost 3 years ago a chevy dealership quoted me $300 but I found an auto recycler that had one for $200 with a 1 year warranty. Labor wasnt involved with my cost as I swapped the dead axles myself
