Just what I needed. I'm replacing all the control arm bushings and ball joints on my 67 GTO. Thanks!

Hi Juan, have a look on rockauto.com you should be able to cross reference the two vehicles.

Or instead of using a socket so the control arm ears don’t collapse, cut a piece of angle iron or pipe that’s cut in 1/2.

I have a question: You put a nut between the two sides while pressing the bushing in. There are many different control arms... so when a shop does this, are there any "standard tools" that you can insert there to do it "the professional way" or would yozu have to buy such a "spacer" for each and every car specifically?

How did you remove the old ones?

You need a ball joint removal tool and a socket slightly smaller than the bushing. The kit will have a large diameter socket that covers the bushing on one side. Similar to install, but opposite. You push the smaller than bushing socket through the mount, which pushes the bushing through and into the large socket on the other side. The most important part is placing some wood or steel in between the ears that holds the bushing. I would recommend using some PB blaster and heat to make them easier to remove. If you have never removed bushings before, you could damage the control arm. I would practice on something else first.

Same for a new edge or sn95 mustang also. Thanks!

Sorry Michael, I don't know about the mustang. If you don't have room to use a compressor that attaches to the outside of the spring, then yes use the same type of compressor as I did.

I am surprised that you didn't do this on a work bench vs doing it on a garage floor. Looks seriously uncomfortable bending over to do the work.

Didn't have a bench available at the time. The garage was pretty full at the time. A bench would be helpful.

@@robthefixitguy7185 I have the same problem, not enough horizontal work space when working on cars. I bought a $40 folding table at WalMart and use it all the time just in these situations.
