I loaded up the front suspension to take to work so I can press out the lower ball joints and clean everything up and get it ready to paint....think we are going to get poly A-arm bushings, I'm worried about the squeak though, I know the poly bushings reuse the metal sleeve, any suggestions about removing the rubber from the sleeve?? I have a press at work, will the rubber press out of the sleeves...I'm also going to make a call this week to see about getting the frame blasted, and I'm going to get some POR so the wife can get the frame painted...we gotta get back on this thing if we wanna drive it this fall

Thanks for tuning in
