    Is there a way I can intall press in bushings for my upper control arms without having a special tool to press them in, I found a tool to press them in with but its more than what I want to pay to for a one time use. Ive got big hammers and a vice if that will do the trick.

    Be careful to not distort the arm or bushings. Some of the autoparts stores will loan you the tool. My kit does ball joints, ujoints and some bushings. The big C-clamp style.
