Early A Control Arms

I dismantled, sandblasted, painted, and re-assembled mine (uppers and lowwers) with a total of about 3 hours work (over the course of a few days because of drying time) Its not that hard at all. Parts were less than $30 and if you decide you want to save some $ paying someone else to do it you can pick up a ball joint press at Harbor Freight for around $30 and use that to press in the new bushings. Regardless, your old ones should be fine to have new bushings pressed in.
