Bottomline, changing the bushings is not an easy or cheap job. All upper and lower A-arms will need to be removed completely from the car. This way the old busings can be removed and new ones pressed into place.

Getting the old busings out is a pain after 30 years of rusting into place. Most end up hack sawing the bushings metal sleeves and chisling out the remains.

OF course once the A-arms are out you will want to paint them. Afterwards the complete suspension will need to be re-assembled and aligned.

If your stock bushings are a little cracked, but there is still some rubber all around the center pivot and there is no movement you should be OK. You might take it to your alignment shop to see if the bushings are effecting your alignment. Always good to get a second opition before breaking out the big tools.
