All my bushings are toast on my upper and lower control arms. They are dry and cracked like a 10 year old rubber band. I wanted to replace the bushings, but don't have a lot of time to wrench and don't have a bench vise or hole saw.
When you buy upper control arms from O'reily's, they come with a bushing on the one end but not on the other. Will this be a simple bolt out/bolt in replacement or is there more to it?
So, can I pick up the Upper Control arms and swap them out with the old in about an hour of work, or will I have to still replace a hidden bushing and stand on my head with a fabbed up tool?
I have 1.5" spacers for lift, so I am going to go aftermarket on the lower control arms....might even upgrade to 3" lift because it wouldn't cost too much more than replacing both lower arms and a bracket for the track bar. Plus, I am a bolt out/bolt in kind of guy.
