OK I've got the control arm bushings installed and mounted back into the car-the big bushings were cracked and I replaced them with OEM parts-not to big of a problem to remove and replace-did it on my vice in the basement. The small control arm bushings were a bear though and had to search for someone with a hyd press to get the old ones out and reinstall the new ones properly. Question I have-the small bushings are in a housing with a bolt going thru the housing and bushing-can you get this bolt to tight and cause the control arm to seaze on the bushing. What tourqe do I tighten this down-or do I just put the red lock tight on the bolt and snug her up? The small bushing that failed may have been caused by the bearing seazing in the control housing-when I put her back together the first time I took care that it wasn't the case but this is the only thing I can figure for the sucker to fail like it did.
Thanks all
Poolman
