Control arm, Please help! 700 87

posted by  someone claiming to be Mnadrlane on  Sat Nov 17 10:45 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I guess it's the control arm, anyway the arm that attaches to the frame on the front end by the back of the wheel well. I got it off to replace the cone shaped bushings. But where the front of the arm went into the old bushings it's very nasty. When I pulled it out, what was left of the old bushings just sort of fell out everywhere, bunch of rust too. Anyway you know that metal lining in the bushing, well it looks like the one from the old bushings is stuck, rtusted to the arm. I assume this is the issue. No way the new bushings are slipping over! Is it worth trying to hack it off somehow? did I get the wrong bushings? Do I need a new arm? Anyone heard of this?
