Help! Upper control arm bushings?
Hey guys. I am in the middle of installing some new upper control arms and I'm stuck. I got the old arms off and the old bushing out, (using the bushing tool by Maximum Motorsports) but for some reason the new bushing (Energy Performance) doesn't seem to want to go into the diff. Anyone have any help of ideas on how I can get the bushing in there? I've tried various methoods with the tool but I can't get the bushing in enough with my hands for the tool to work. If someone could please help me out here that would be great. Thanks.

heat the housing with a torch, and leave the bushings in the freezer for a couple hours... they should slide in with easy

use MAP gas though that way you're not sitting there all day trying to heat up the housing.
