rear control arm help.

[Rocket Man]

You can likely do withoit the press if you use some allthread and big washers. Ive done that before. A quick braaap from an impact and its in.

But how do you get the old ones apart?

A bigass socket that the bushing can be pushed into and a smaller washer that fits inside the arm to pushthe bushing out using the allthread

I don't think that's an option in his apartment! But yeah the other one would work.

yeah burning them out is actually what they say to do in the installation instructions. I appreciate all the help. the reason I'm changing them is all the bushings are old on this hoe. i don't think the previous owner greased anything really. I'm also refurbing the whole SUV because it's very clean and I think it's worth keeping versus another car payment and I can't afford a newer one.

juggernaut did you ever install the rear control arm? Did you replace bushings or tje whole arm? Was it as easy as unbolting?

I replaced the control arms recently. Just unbolt and replace. You'll need a jack to line things up.
