I am about to tackle the control arm bushings, for the first time, on both of my 240s. My understanding thus far is that I will most likely need to replace the rear (larger) bushings only. Got the Boge bushings. I have lined up a shop to press out the old bushings and press in the new ones. The area that feels a little murky has to do with final torquing when the cars are back on the ground. Accessibility will be limited and I seem to remember reading that access to some bolts can be gained from inside the engine compartment, and with certain types of sockets. I'm doing this tomorrow so anything from you guys that have done this will be appreciated. Jim
