Saturdays fun.
I decided to try and sort the lower arm bushes myself, and thanks to my friend Andy's excellent hydraulic press, and new control arm housings the job was relativity painless.
Old bush was quite soft, and coming away at the outer race.
Cracking press/puller depending on you needs.
Control arm and bush quickly removed, and thankfully they both came off in one piece.
New powerflex polly bush offered up.
And nicely at home all torqued up.
Quite chuffed that I did it myself, after watching may YouTube videos of saws and grinders, I think the puller is defiantly the way to go, just glad I had access to one, or I could see it being a tricky job.
Just the rear ARB, bushes and drop links to do, as happy with OEM trailing arms and subframe bushes for now.
