      it seems to me they are over charging you, a little.

      Also, it was just discussed here that the rear control arm bushings were covered under the 100k powertrain warranty, So i am sure the front ones would be covered too. (no other reason i see to replace control arms). So you might have just paid to get work done that would be free at the dealer.

      Thanks for the response rabbit....I let them change rear shocks and the swaybar endlink and they were going to replace the bushings...but I said no, I will obtain these aftermarket arms and install myself.

      I am in Canada here so you have to realize everything is about double here as compared to you guys down south.

      MOOG swaybar link was 73.00 bucks..each KY rear shock 93.00.

      I had a 3yr, 60,000KM warranty I will check into that suggestion though and call GM and find out if they are covered.

      .

      I spoke to our dealership they said neither the front or the rear bushings are covered..so I put a call into GM Canada Customer Service....not going to hold my breath there though they still haven't returned the last message I left and they haven't replied to the letter I sent them two months ago in regards to the various dealership invoices I paid for "engine missfires" which the dealership said was spark tracing...

      Looks like those camshaft actuators should be covered as well that I referenced on another thread..under the powertrain warranty. GM parts call them valves though.
