UCA Bushing Tool - where to find

Time to replace the control arms and bushings. As I searched through the threads, the consensus to get the new UCA Axle bushings in is to use a Harbor Freight ball joint press. Does anyone know where I can pick one of those up, someone said they were only $40?

And, I am just planning on using NAPA bushings on the axle unless someone has a better suggestion. Thanks.
 
You might be able to find the press at Harbor Freight?
Maybe their website would have it?
http://www.harborfreight.com/

Or you could visit one of their stores in Atlanta, Macon, or Savanah?

Does the description of the press sound like this?
38335-0VGA US General 3-IN-1 BALL JOINT/U-JOINT/C-FRAME PRESS SERVICE KIT $39.99

Does it look like this?

LOL :gag:

OR you could also go to AutoZone and rent one of theirs for free, which is what I did. I used the Rubicon Express rebuildable bushings. Had to burn out the OEM ones with a propane torch, or actually just loosened them up then used a hammer. However, I think the OEM bushings would do well too, since they last 130k the first time around.

Seriously, HTH!
