Default How to Replace Bushings

Hey guys,

So here is my latest video on how to replace control arm bushings. Instead of replacing the whole control arm for $60+ you can get a pair of bushings for $15 and press the old ones out and press the new ones in. For the upper control arm you have to make sure your ball joint is good on but on the lower control arm the ball joint is replaceable so this video is perfect! I rented a ball joint press for free (the bushing press was rented out already) and it worked great.

Let me know what you think and hopefully this helps everyone

I like the video. Very detail and well done. I also looked at replacing the upper control arms. Is it a good Idea to replace both upper control arms if one has a bad bushing or ball joint?
