    Control Arm Bushing Help, Poly Energy Suspension

    Anyone have tips on shoving the Upper Control Arm in place when the bushings are in? It's extremely tough cuz the new bushings are so nice and thick. I am so close, but it got way to cold out.

    Control Arm Bushing Help, Poly Energy Suspension

    yeah man, i always think "if shaeff was closer" I'm going to try and use an arbor press to get them out for the front and rear driver. I worry about using the hacksaw/sawzall. Cuz it's hard to see when you will hit. I kept stopping early and used the sharp screwdriver to finish the job...
