I could not get the dang bushing out of the a-arms, so I knew I had two new ones, upper and lower, I think they came from vicks,I will check again, my question is,( Vicks are back ordered)
Can I get set from AR , does it matter

I'm sure you can. After all they are not sold only in pairs. That being said I'd stick with the same manufacture just incase I had a problem down the road.

Well I wasn't aware that on the lower a-arm that the thread shafts can come out, it does correct
I removed the upper ones

About a year ago I bought Vic's Prima 1's. Tried to install and just could not get top arm to go on. The bushings were pushed in too tight. I sent back the Prima 1's for the regular A arms they had. They were very nice in the return but cost me time - maybe two weeks (one to get first and one to get second). I presume they have corrected the issue. Not hard to install but time consuming - and use a spring compressor, got mine from Harbor Freight.
