Re: Control Arm Bushings

you can buy just the front kit. They go in easy, the old bushings apparently don't come out easy enough for my idiot local shop... So be firm that you want the old ones PRESSED out not burned out. If they burn them out your going to be doing alot of cleaning and repainting.

Also note you have to remove the rear engine subframe mount to pull the A-Arm, so plan on only doing one side at a time. Also its easier to have both front tires in the air so there is no load on the swaybar.

That said, its quite easy to pull the A-arm with a modest supply of tools. 14,17, and 19mm sockets with a breakerbar. Oh and 14mm wrench. Doing the swaybar bushings at the same time 10 and 12mm are also need IIRC.
