I have a G35 Coupe with worn out front lower control arm bushings. Nissan refers it as the transverse link. I purchased some performence white line bushings. Would I be able to remove/replace the old ones with a giant clamp and vise table if i don't have access to a press??

 

Similar concept is to rent a bushing tool from AutoZone (usually free: pay deposit, get refund when tool is returned). Sometimes they don't have the correct size though, so might need to use a socket.

 

Thats what I meant by giant clamp sorry lol. Have you used this technique before?

 

Yeah... Can this be used to push out ball joints too (noob here)!

 

Yes, just haven't tried on the G35 yet though. Worked fine on a 240SX, Maxima, and G20. I would highly recommend using an impact gun though, turning a wrench will get tiring fast, don't care how strong you are.

Maybe, there's also some tool that's used for ball joints that looks like a claw.

 

And "The Claw!" Can be used to put one back in?

 

Egawd the local machine shop wants 20$ per bushing and 25$ per ball joint. That how much they cost for OEM

 

For whole new arms (with new bushings and ball joints), it would cost $200ea for compression rods and $206 for the lower control arms.

You can buy just the compression rod bushings for ~$25 ea from dealer. Not sure if you can get lower arm bushings stand alone though. Plenty of aftermarket bushings to choose from however.

 

I recommend white line bushings. Alot of good reviews on those aftermarket ones
