[WuYing]

Is is hard to install the upper control arm bushing? My left rear is making noise over bump and I just found out that the control arm bushing is mess up. How hard is it to do it yourself? Any tips?

Thanks

If your talking about the bushing on the top of the knuckle you'd have to remove the entire knuckle which isn't the easiest and then take it to a shop to have the bushing pressed out and new one in put in, I believe most are that way. It shouldn't cost much at a shop for them to do it though. Stock bushing would be best to not offset anything. good luck

Just use an air hammer to wail out the old bushing. Hit the sleeve edge on the old bushing and bloop..
