Re: control arm bushing

Ive put the new ones on & welded them to the control arm
Those are not bleeders they are grease fittings. .

Re: control arm bushing

Passenger side on mine was stripped also. I taked it three times and so far it has held. New control arms are pretty pricey. Replace the grease fittings and give them a good shot of quality grease. Should be fine.
