Lower control arm bushings. Help.

You could. You can also just install the bushing without the pin into the LCA first. Then use a short extension to support the inner shell through the torsion bar socket when you install the LCA pin.

I’ve done it that way too. I always has better luck with a pipe and a flange welded on it to keep it straight. Not sure why I have it but it’s over by the press. If I recall I did it this way because I’ve had the rubber push out when pushing the pin in afterwards. I’ll get another bushing and start over tomorrow. 15 hours in the shop working on all kinds of projects today... at some point it’s time to quit. Spent too much time on the race car today. Had to play some mopars for a while and wipe that Chevy off my hands !
