I did those huuuuge bushings in the rear control arms of my old 200TQ
w/o a problem. They were $10/ea. The two new control arms would've cost
me $400 total. All you need is a hydraulic press with a suitable
adapter. I had such access and I had machined my own Aluminium adapters.
Was a piece of cake.

However, if one does not have access to such facilities, he indeed may
be better off buying the whole control arm as an assy.
