lower control arm bushing install

[ir3333]

been about 10 years since i did this,old bushings are out
...install new bushings in control arm and then press pin into bushing
or press pin into bushing first and then press both into control arm?

It doesn't matter, as long as if the bushing is pressed into the LCA first you support the inner shell of the bushing through the T-bar socket while pressing in the pin.

good point Mr. Lusk.
..i may have missed that...tx.

Press the pin first then press both in lca. Its hard to support the bushing if you press it first IMO.

Not with the proper pieces or socket.

Rob at Car QUEST says to do that way as well he did mine that way.:cheers:

Should also clarify that when pushing into the LCA only push on the outer shell not the pin.
