Default Front Lower Control Arm Bushings...

How hard is it to change the lower control arm bushings? Mine are shot to hell and have been for too long now so its causing uneven wear on my tires, and I was just curious how hard it would be to change myself because a shop wants to charge me about $260 just to change the bushings. Also, what bushings should I buy??

It is not a trivial job. I think you would be happiest with Moog replacement bushings.

They are a PITA if u ask me. I went with prothane polyurethane bushings and so far they are great.
