Shouldn't any machine shop be able to do it? Seems they would be way cheaper too.

I think it is good to put a dollar value per hour on ones time and also the vehicle downtime associated with repairing a part verses the cost of a new complete part.

And I think it's good to reuse a perfectly good arm... if that saves some money, but costs some time, so be it. But I am a cheap bastard... and I know it. Each user will have their own value equation to weigh.

I got the control arms back from Car-X. He charged me $20 each to press them. I pulled out my card and he said, 'oh, I guess I'll need to write up a ticket, unless you have cash'. I got the hint there and told him I would run to the ATM and get cash.
So Meyle HD bushings were about $25 and Meyle HD control arms were $105, which means I saved about $120 by doing it this way. Since I saved the control arms from the first time I replaced them, I had no down time for the vehicle. It was worth my time...
