have any of you guys installed a new lower control arm bushing and what were the steps u used to install it. thanks

 

for the small bushing you need a press. If you dont have a press you cant put the new one in very easily. You can cut the old one out but putting the new one in is a little more difficult. I have a machine shop close to me that is willing to do little stuff like that for a minimum fee (was like $15 for both bushings) but most machine shops dont want to fool with stuff like that.

You can get the urethane bushings and install them easily by yourself though. Or you can talk to Matt93SE because he has a swap program where he does the stock bushings.

 

Replace the entire control arm with bushings..order from internetautomart on here for around $63.00...45 minute job...

 

there is a writeup on it floating around on 4dsc IIRC, but depending on which you have most of, time, skill or money, tou may be best off buying the whole arm as it comes complete with the bushings already installed and new Ball joints are included as well.

 

The writeup Brian is talking about is available here (copied from the STICKIES):

Complete instructions for OEM bushing replacement if you don't want to just buy new arms.

 

I sell the bushings, the complete arms, and the poly bushings too.

 

So, internetautomart the bushing would fit an se or gxe? or do u have to get specific bushing and about how soon could u ship it out

 

got your order, I'm pretty sure I have 2 more in the back seat of my car.
I know at least 1 is there, by wednesday next week at latest you should have em.
