I sent an email to Arnott asking if they did have the correct bushings:
The original Mark VIII front upper control arms pivot at the bushings without winding up. Do your control arms do this?
Their reply:
Ours are just like the factory O.E units but we sell quite a few of these and have not heard anyone have a problem with them. We do offer a limited lifetime warranty on them as well.
The reply wasn't very convincing, but I had to try them. The other ones are a pain to work with, and I have to believe the ride suffers, especially when the car changes height, or when I lower it with my module 8's.
I bought the Arnott upper control arms and put one on yesterday. It does have the proper bushings that move! :thumbsup:
Even the ball joints look close to original, and they are sealed like the originals.
Here's some photos showing the arm fully tightened down, and me moving it up with my pinky finger:
