Default not a wheel bearing

I was almost completely certain that I needed to replace the front passenger side wheel bearing, so I go out and buy the part and the tools and then jack the car up. I shake the wheel and guess what it is not??? It is the lower control arm bushing they are shot and I cant seem to find them at the auto parts stores it would seem to be a dealer only part... this suck big time and I dont want to drive the car until its fixed ( it tried to kill me on the highway today) I wanted to change 1 lane not 2... any help would be nice.... any advice as well by the way it is a 1994 850 turbo wagon.....

You need to call around. They should be available from your local parts stores. Here is one: Oreilly auto parts, Beck Arnley part number 101-4581 $47.99 a pair.

Default Control Arm Bushings

I just changed mine on my 95 Turbo Wagon but i needed because the ball joint was bad. Since the ball joint is not replacable the whole control arm is needed. $46 bucks or so for each arm (FCP Groton) that came with new bushings and all hardware needed. Took me hour to replace both.

Volvo 850 Turbo Right Front Control Arm- Volvo Parts

This is what you need. FCPGroton is great for Volvo parts. Their prices are reasonable too.
