Greetings all.
I have these sitting around for a few years and looking to install these. Anyone knows of a shop that has installed these and also at what price.
Old bushings will need to be pressed out.
Thanks,
Bill

actually you can just drill/destroy your old bushings to get them out (minus the casing).
to get the new ones in several members have had success with keeping them in the freezer for a while so they shrink a little bit, and then they were actually able to slide them in with some grease or something like that. crazy right? a press is a luxury most DIY'ers don't have.
I think most shops can tackle this with a press pretty easily. probably charge an arm and a leg though.

You cannot press these bushings out. The control arm is situated in such a way with the bushings come out that the press will not physically fit. You basically have to destroy the damn things. That's why you can do it yourself with a torch or an air hammer. The bushings go into the arms by hand! The only one you might have trouble with is the big one (getting it back in).
