Well I looked at a few of my favorites: rockauto.com, Napa.com, Chryslerpartsdirect.com, oreillyauto.com and none of them sold just the bushing. The Chrysler site showed it as a separate item on the "parts view" menu but did not list it separately for sale. I would call/go in to your local Mopar parts counter first and see what they say. However if you need to buy the entire control arm in order to replace to end up with a new bushing, rockauto looked like the best bet. I did not see a price at O'reilly but I would also check with them if they are in your area.
I called my local Chrysler dealer. They confirmed what you saw on the Chrysler website, that they do not sell the bushing separately. I will call Mopar and see what they can tell me.
I have been hesitant to buy the bushings from my link I posted in my previous post because the bushings look like they are missing parts and it might take awhile for me to get them. I think they might be made from polyurethane, therefore they do not look the same as rubber bushings. Most noticeably, they do not have a metal outer cylinder surrounding them.
I could also buy whole Mevotech control arms for cheap ($185 shipped), but I have read too many bad reviews about them. Also I want to try to avoid getting a alignment. Although I'm not sure how much more likely it is to avoid one by just ordering one bushing vs. buying Mevotech control arms. Mopar control arms are $700-800 I think. At that price it makes more sense to buy the bushings. Even buying all the bushings and ball joint from Germany only costs $200 shipped.
These are the big control arm bushings, they are made from rubber and does have outer metal cilinder.
I ordered them two years ago and had no problems so far.
The small bushings fit from Caravan/Town and Country till 2007 model year mopar part number 4684120
Where can I find the rear (big) bushings for the front control arms?
