Default TeraFlex Front control arms and bushings

I am planning on purchasing new upper and lower front CAs from TeraFlex and also will be replacing my bushings on the axle side for the uppers. I already have an order in for polyurethane type bushings . But they are on backorder. So I was wondering should I go forward with these or just replace them with OEM bushings?

I would leave what comes with the teraflex arms. Why replace something thats new? The poly will make a ton of noise....

Well, its my understanding that on the uppers the bushings on the axle side are in the mount and the arm just has a forked end that goes over that. So unless TF sends bushings for that then i need to replace them. And of course on the frame side I would just use what comes with the arms

If I'm incorrect I do want to know so that I don't buy anything unnecessarily. Thanks.

Misread your first post. The stock clevite will last a decent amount of time on the front axle mount. You don't need to replace them.

Thanks for your help! Hopefully I can cancel that order so I can apply that towards my new TF CAs
