my recommendation, use a press. i burned all of mine out which was fairly easy at first. took me forever to clean it out enough to put the new poly bushings in though... just be careful with the press, as you can bend/break the a-arms. but the car will feel SO much more connected with the road. its amazing how much the stock rubber bushings move.

Yeah I'm going to use a press, take everything off, clean and paint with some rust neutralizer, and then take them to get the old bushings pressed out and the front control arm bushings pressed in.

One of my rear lateral links is slightly bent, so I'm waiting for a replacement before I go through the trouble of doing the bushings. However, I got the coils on today in preparation for this weekend and I must say... Wow. It's like a whole new car!

If you want to cornerweight, talk to Avery, he has the scales.
At any rate, good luck this weekend with the new suspension!
