Hey dudes and dudettes,
Just got knocked back on my WOF with these. Has anyone tackled replacing the upper arms at home and if so, is it a bastard to do? Been quoted $550+ GST to do a "drive in drive out" job and figure its got to be a bit cheaper to do than that. Correct me if Im way off here.
Ciaow for now.

There is a few kits you can purchase to replace the bushes, Nolathane does one, and there are other types out there also.

Fusion Boy,
Yes, they are an absolute pig. I fortunately had assistance of a mate who owns a workshop. Still took about 2 hours with a hammer and cold-chisel and vice (don't try it without a vice!!) to get the old bastards out (for a replacement camber kit)
