The bushings on the A arms don't appear to have any issues that I can tell just from visual inspection.
 
Not to easy cause they wear mostly in the plugged end where its difficult to get the grease ....However, very discernible when you connect all the other new stuff... Of course..
 
I was able to buy the bushings themselves from Apple Hydraulics. However discovered my torch was not sufficient to unbraze the bushings. After looking at how tough it is to align those bushings to a fulcrum pins spans across both sides and can screw from one side to another I ended up sending to Apple Hydraulics for them to R&R and fit new bushings. 5 days later A Arms came back blasted, painted, straightened, and new metal bushings in place. Last I checked it was around $200 when I had done last year. NFI but I've got a set of A-Arms going to them next week for rebushing.

If you buy new, Moss sells 2 grades. The British Heritage A-Arm is a much heavier duty part like RB A-Arms which are much heavier in construction. $90 each more than the cheap ones.
 
Also, I had Apple add an extra grease fitting for $5 an A-arm.
 
yea, who in their right mind is going to get down EVERY thousand miles and hit the grease nipples.... always pack a g gun as you would the spare tire jack etc.
 
I sent a note to Apple this PM asking for cost of bushing R&R. Not shown on their website any more. Hopefully they will still do that work.
