Subject:      UPPER float/wishbone/contol Arm bushings
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

These bushings are "shot" on my 86'.  I have looked at different manuals
that say take it to the dealer, because of spot welding (Haynes), some
make it sound fairly easy.  The archives is filled with notes on how to do
it, but are these people mechanics?


So I am between $600.00 and a hard place.


My questions to the All Mighty List are 1)will I be able to do this, with
intermediate ability?  2)Do I need any special tools?  3)Is there a
cheaper deal in the Seattle region?


I am aware of a compression tool to get the bushings on, but this was
avoided by using a longer bolt in the archives.  Is this person still
alive?


Thanks for any thoughts y'all have.


Bryan
