Need help with oem front lower control arm bushings

[jedi]

I need to replace my lca bushings, because a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that oil was leaking from the bushing (RH side). Now, I feel every imperfection over any kind of road I drive within. I wonder if anybody can give an opinion if you've ever replaced them with non-oem options, and if so, using which ones ... I'm looking at some used oem options (ebay), but I'm concerned if they might have the oil filled bushings in an ok condition (when I noticed my lca bushing was "bleeding", I did not notice any cracks or damage in the bushings, so they might look good, but not so be). Thanks in advance for your help/opinions.

One of the bushings on my Mazda5 was leaking at 50k miles, I replaced the whole arm. I don't think you can just get the bushing. It took a couple of hours in my driveway. On my car you have to undo the rear motor mount and rock the engine a little to get one of the bolts out. Search my user name for a thread. A new mazda part was under $200, so it's not worth using used parts or cheap replacement parts.

Thanks bro. Last week, I purchased them used at ebay, and hope the bushings are fine and that the seller doesn't fool me. Think it will be a similar procedure with my car so I'll keep in mind your words while I change them...
