Lower control arm parts

I didn’t need a press to get the old bushings out, just a bottle jack, popped right out. Sonoran Steel bushings went in,
Easy Peasy

 

I have had situations where a 20 ton press would not move the bushings. Had to use an air chisel to get them out. Time wise, I have found it is just easier to replace the whole unit. That's my experience - YMMV, but for the money, and the time, it's just a better proposition.

The bottle jack and burning worked for me. They popped out easily. I pressed new bushings in with all thread, some washers, and a couple of sockets.

 

I still recommend new complete arms. Some have had bushings that were hard to get in/out. Do you want to save time and effort, Or money?

Also are your old arms in good condition? possibly bent? Rusty?

 

Would u recommend buying the complete LCA’s from Toyota or another company?

 

consensus is to buy OEM LCA's.

 

I got oem LCAs from an online Toyota dealer who had the best price and free shipping. I can go back and see where if you'd like.

Edit: https://autoparts.rosevilletoyota.com/ - best price I found at the time with free shipping. Last April. YMMV

 

That’s a grate deal.
