Subject:      Front end bushings

I've got an 87 Syncro and I've decided to replace the PS rack and all the front end bushings since I gotta take everything apart anyway. I'm also doing the lower ball joints, having just done the uppers.

Questions: ---Do the upper and lower control arm bushings need to be pressed out / in? ---Anyone rented a FLAPS ball joint and bushing kit before and can recommend one? ---any other special tools I might need for the PS rack and any other part of the suspension?

Looks to me like the radius rod, sway bar and PS mount bushings all just bolt up.

Thanks, Jeff
