I think the turbo arms are unique to turbo cars. Other arms are similar and will work, but require some type of modification to the rear pin. For example, I have turbo arms and had to make a sleeve 1mm wider to fit non turbo bushings on the rear pin. Besides getting 94 Elantra brackets that was the only modification. You might have someone measure the pin diameter of Elantra control arms and see if the pin's O.D. is the same as the turbo rear bushings I.D., I think you might be better off removing a little material from the turbo bush and calling it a day.

Turbo arms are exclusive to turbo cars, and the bushings are NLA/discontinued. Superpro has them, or you can make them like I did, for 1/8 the price.

This has been discussed to death, for years, ugh.

He has non turbo arms and is asking about using a turbo bushing. I haven't seen that question.

Unless he's got turbo bushings to work with already, the superpro ones won't work, since they press into the bushing bracket. The non-turbo bushings are not metal-covered, and separate from the bracket. They're also a different shape, being slightly rectangular-y vs. the round turbo ones.

The turbo bushings only work on the turbo arms, unless you put some work into it.

do we have reference pics or side-by-side comparison between the non-turbo and turbo control arms? check rockauto and saw listed control arms from flennor and moog but not sure though if those are from turbo one becuase it doesnt have those rear inner turbo bracket
