Control arm bushings

[Tony Hoffman]

I tried this, and it didn't help that much, if at all. By the time I
got the bushing started in place, it already seemed to have heated
back up to the point where it didn't really matter. However, to me,
putting them back in was much easier than taking them out. Although,
neither is very dificult once you have a system down. I use a modified
version of Huw's, where I simply hammer the old ones out, and the new
ones in. Probably takes 5 minutes max for each one to remove and
replace, so 10 min per control arm.

I have a copy of what I wrote up if you are interested in it.
