Subject:      Syncro lower control arm bushing tips?

So, my hand was called. I've been sitting on a big pile of front suspension parts and avoiding dealing with them. Now I've got a ripped front CV boot and need to deal with it. I figure this is a good time to take care of the works.

I'm trying to decide if I do it myself, or if I take it to a shop so I can actually have a weekend with my family. I talked to a well-regarded local mechanic (Dan at Louis Foreign) and he said all the syncro rubber stuff is no biggie -- except the lower control arm busing. He said everyone he's attempted, he's totally buggered them. Now he just doesn't do them and no one complains. Hmmmm....

That just doesn't sound right. Anyone have any BTDTs for me on this?

Thanks.
