control arm and urithane bushing question.....

[bbeacock@rogers.com (Ben Beacock)]

That=92s funny 'cause I just finished doing that about 30 minutes ago.
The rear bushings will twist off, if you hold them in a vice and turn
the control arm around while pulling.  The other ones are a pain.  One
popped out just by grinding off some rubber and hammering it through.
The other I ran a drill through the rubber in 10 different spots, which
was enough to hammer it out after that.  The bushings went into the
front and over the back real easy with the grease they supplied.

Subject: control arm and urithane bushing question.....

Hi, I'm going to be putting in urithane bushings in my control =
arms.=A0My
front's seem to be rather waisted (rust) so I'm going to look for some
new ones. Is there a difference between the control arms on any of the
A1 chassis cars, or are they completely interchangable?
So I'm planning on putting the bushings in the new arms before I put
them on.....for the fronts. Any tips on getting the bushings into the
rear arms?
btw, it's a 77 rocco
