Control arm bushing replacement problem 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Felix_the_caT on  Tue Aug 31 15:42 CST 2010 [RELATED]

Well, your first problem is that that isn't a control arm, it is a torque arm and is from the rear. Control arms are in the front. You can not press them in from the top, because pressing them like that makes them squish and get wider, making it impossible to fit in the hole no matter how much force you use. You have to kind of stretch it out using the bolt hole so it gets skinnier as you stretch it. Heating the arm (not hot enough to melt the bushing) might help some also, as well as some soapy water. You sure you got the right bushing? It looks kind of odd.

good luck
