Incompetent mechanics

Now whats wrong with this picture? Seriously how hard is it to install a LCA correctly? Put a wash on the front and one on the back! How obvious is that. The one time I let a shop install something for me they **** up, which is why I perfer to work on my car myself. Needless to say the car is going back to same shop and getting fix CORRECTLY for free. Dumbasses.

Looks like they forgot to press the bushing in far enough. Maybe they do have the means to do it right.

The bushings were already pressed in far enuff. The ES poly bushing kit came with 4 large gold washers, and they some how forgot to put the ones on the back of the arm. I was gonna preassemble the arms prior to letting them install. But figured, hey its not rocket science they wont have any problmes. Jokes on me I suppose.

I would laugh...but I did the same thing on mine when I first installed them. It just slipped my mind since there are no washers behind the stock setup, and I forgot to put them in. ooops.

lol...
