Bushings:

The front lower control arm bushing (rear position) are shot. Does anyone know how hard it is to press these in and out? I see there's a tool on ebay:

search.ebay.com/Volvo-Support-Arm-Bushing-Tool-960

I am not sure if this tool will fit or not. If at all possible I would consider buying a cheap press and doing it myself instead of paying the dealer. Any idea if a 6 ton press would do it or should I go with a 12 ton? (looking at harborfreight.com)


Brakes:

If I step very hard on the brakes there is a loud "CLUNK". I'm assuming that is from the worn bushings. When I did this I noticed that the right front tire would skid a little bit. The ABS should prevent that. The ABS fault light is not on so I am wondering what would cause this?

Thanks

Fletch
