Hey Joe,

Congrats on the suspension work. Sounds like everything came together just right. One quick question. I just started my front end suspension work this morning and everything is out and in the middle of being cleaned up. I'm going to take my control arms in to have the bushings pressed out (because I don't have a press or a bench vise) and the shop I go to will do the rear ones for free. My uncle in-law is a mechanic and has a shop next door to them. Anyways they told me that the rear control arm bushings would be no problem but that they almost never do the front bushings being that they stay in good shape and are a B#&*H to pull out. When you did your control are bushing did you do the FRONT and REAR or just the REARs? I would like to have the fronts done as well because I would like to know that everything has been taken care of. The front bushings are still firm but do show cracks from their age. Any advice on replacing those bushing would be great. Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Nickvjr
