Upper control arm problems

I am in the middle of installing the front part of my 3" lift, and when I took out the upper control arm bolts, I noticed the driver side bushing is gone.
Autozone, O'Reilly, and Advance do not even show this part and Pepboys says they have to order it. What is the deal? Does anyone know how I can get one, or do I have to go to the dealer only?
 

like the sleeve thats on the bolt for your control arm eh? my lift is being held up because of those stupid things... i would say ahve autozone order you some... they seize up and then u cant get them out it sux!
 
Well, well the "I can only look up parts on a computer screen" guys at all the national parts chains were full of it. I found a good parts guy, who got into a catalog and found my upper control arm bushings, even though the book stopped a few year models before mine, he knew they did not change.
For any of you who need this, this will save you alot of time.
The upper control arm bushings for a 90 (and more I'm sure) model Cherokee is a Moog number K3128. Also, have any of you had problems when you ordered replacment front bump stops? I had heck with the set the Rough Country sent me. They claim they fit XJ, TJ, and YJ. Not my 90 XJ. I had to grind and grind on them, the diameter was about 20% too big, and the top was too tall to fit into the shaft and lock into place. It took over an hour to massage them to work after several phone calls to them and they claim they are the right ones. Let them come install em! :x This lift kit has turned out to be a real pain, not installing the lift, just finding the correct bushings and bump stops have taken up valuable time.
