which direction to take?
You can replace the LCA and UCA bushings yourself if you buy the Prothane poly insert bushings WITHOUT outer shells. On these all you do is heat and burn out the rubber with a bernsomatic torch with a propane cylinder, and leave the outer shells intact. The new polyurethane inserts slide right in. A prothane upper and lower bushing kit is so inexpensive and easy to install this way. No hydraulic press needed no risk of bending a control arm etc. Prothane sells polyurethane strut rod bushings too. I got all these thru summit racing. They are available in red and black. I got them in black for both barracudas. My LCA pins drilled for grease fittings I got from firm feel.
I did the energy suspension polyurethane insert bushings on my 94 Chevy pickup front and back upper and lower control arms, leaf springs. Burn out the rubber, leave the outer shells, grease em up, reuse the inner bushing tubes if kit doesnt come with em. I did this on my truck probably 17 years ago. Still great. So insert bushings are just fine. Proof positive you dont have to press out the outer shells to replace bushings.
You can even get new LCA pins that are drilled with a zerk fitting
