OK, so I'm thinking about getting the Meyle HD bushings only and getting them pressed. It doesn't sound like my indy mechanic likes to deal with pressing bushings. What type of shop could I look for that will just press them into my old control arms?

I took them to my local garage, anywhere that has a decent press, I mean, not sure you could get old rusted ones out with a 1 ton bench press. My local had a 20 ton press and popped them out like they where bottle caps.

Once you find a shop willing to replace the bushes for you, print this page and give it to them.

They'll still screw it up (most likely) but hey, at least you tried...

I'm buying my own press - real soon.
