info on control arms

[knucklebuster23]

I have a 98 intrigue that need control arm bushings replaced. Do these have to be pressed into place?

Vertical Bushing = Yes
Horizontal bushing is part of control arm = No

Make your own with a large hardened bolt, nut and some washers and cups.

Control Arm Bushing
Front Suspension
Bushings
GM part #10407903
$9.39 (dealer) about 1/2 off at GMpartsdirect



those numbers are all GM part numbers. You can make your own bushing puller will some hardened metal, and cut pieces of pipe. Harbor Freight has the cups and cheap ball joint and puller sets. The hardened bolt goes thru the bushing (in this case) and pulls the bushing into the cup part. Need a good quality socket wrench and maybe a breaker bar also (a piece of pipe over your wrench handle).

Thanks I got a good idea what's going on now. A mechanic told me that it's best just to replace the whole control arm assembly, He said that if you just replace the bushings you'll be changing them again in another six months. I hope he's wrong. Thanks again.
