CNBZ34 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Has anybody done control arm bushing replacement on there Luminas? Looks straight forward and Napa even stocks them. Haynes manual said a "special tool" is needed. That tells me there is a way for me to do it, just thought I'd tap the experience here. Also, are engine cradle bushings and washers a "dealer item only"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I bent my control arms trying to get the new ones in. The "proper" special kent moore tool listed in the FSM goes for like a grand new. it's no picnic trying to do it by other means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 autozone has a loan-a tool ball joint press kit. I used that to do the busings on the control arm of an old buick. might that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
