We tried multiple methods, from drilling to burning the bushings out. Drilling seemed to be the most effective way to get the old bushings out.
Since we're installing a rear sway bar, the lower control arms need stiffening up. You can buy 'drop in' spacer/plates but they're cheesy. So we sleeved the bolt holes and welded flat stock on the bottom side to make them more robust.
Time to paint them. I taped off the rear sleeves so you can see the gold zinc finish from the back of the car, because why not.
Upper arms in with the new bushings
Everything going back together, bushings in the arms, sway bar, and the new springs I just put in as well.
Ready to lower back down and test drive
