Re: Upper control arm bushings

No worries on the hacking.. Thats what this is for..

What I found was at first I fully installed one bushing then the other. The second one was very tight and I could not move the arm at all when in the vice. I had the shaft in the vice and tried to lift the arm, no go!!

I removed both bushing and then threaded them in equally. A couple of turns on one side then the other until both were completely seated..

I am no expert, but that worked for me..

When I did the lower shafts, I followed the same process and it worked out fine..

Hope that helps!!
