Need help installing bushings

Jake, shot ya a PM....

Anyone else have the tools or know of a shop that can do it in case Mr. Jake is unavail...my alignment is def shot now n I'm wearin da sht out of my new tires

I called German and I guess he's never done it or doesn't want to deal with it..lol cause he said that the whole arm HAS to be replaced...ooohh okkkkkk.

Pro Tuning said they will do it but they charge standard stealership labor rates and I can't afford that right now...needless to say I'd have to leave the car w/ them.

Cobb was a blank and didn't even know since they asked couple of times what I needed done (scaaary)...

Jotech was actually decently priced but their not avail till next week...the only thing that scared me..."oh yeah, you have to burn out the old ones"...ummm, that affects the stability of the metal...hello?!?!?

Personally I'd rather have a fellow G homie help me out, hook him up w/ some cash and I'd be more than happy to help in the DIY process...

From what I remember having replaced the whole right side front some of the bushing are pressed in at the factor so you pretty much have to buy the whole arm. Check this link out they have some of the best prices.

That's why I said some, not all of course I can't remember and I am too lazy to look it but if you don't have a fancy press and you want to do it yourself it's not that much more money to replace the whole arm is all I was trying to say.
