Thank you. That's the answer I was looking to get. I have someone who has adjustable struts and springs that wants them installed along with the better bushings

Let me just say that the rear lower control arm bushings are a major PAIN IN THE *** to get out. I spent a great deal of time on my back with the car and rear cradle on jackstands. Finally had to use a propane torch to get those bastards out.

I published about using a torch and homemade tool about 5 years ago. At the time the conventional wisdom was that you had to have a Pedders special tool to do it easily. After I figured out the first side (I did inner, outer and subframe at the same time) the second set came out in under an hour.
