Does that sound to you like they took the whole thing apart? The new ones didn't magically appear on my car.

2. You obviously didn't read what I just said regarding the screwdriver. I talking about removing the ES ones...not the OEM ones. I think you need to quit trolling and read before you post something.

3. Regarding the process you're talking about, I agree with you on the alignment. That's a crapload of important stuff that you would remove, and i'd recommend an alignment after something like that. Luckily for everyone on the forum (except for you), we know that there is a better way to go about replacing the bushing if that's all you need to replace.

Quit talking like i'm the only one here who knows you don't have to remove the whole thing to replace the bushing. Use the search button if you want to read more about it. I am under no obligation to prove it to you, especially with the attitude you're bringing to the discussion.
Well kieth was talking about "pressing" out the old bushing without taking off the compression rod. So I assume he's talking about the stock one.

You ALSO said that pressing in a new OEM bushing would be easy (you would need a press for this too) than the ES ones..sooo..yer kinda mixing stories here.

Third if your mechanic is unbolting the subframe and just letting the rod hang on its ball joint while he replaces bushings you need to find a new mechanic.
