Car feels more planted at high speeds and wheels just spin smoothly no hop
As of yet, very impressed!
Money well spent

You got only the front bushes or the whole LCA? If so, which were the part numbers of the bushes? Did you change both on each side? Thanks in advance.

How hard was it to get the old bushings out of the control arms?

I have both sets for the front LCAs waiting to go in. So far I was quoted about 3 hours of labor for them. So, that's why they're still waiting to go in.

3 hours seems high for a shop -- I'm hoping to be able to do this in 3 in my driveway.

If I remember correctly, in the past when I unbolted the control arm from the ball joint (the 3 nuts underneath) the control arm didn't drop low enough to come totally clear of the ball joint studs (they are pretty long and perhaps designed this way on purpose as a safety feature). This could introduce some complication. Note: the range of motion of the control arm is restricted by the subframe in which it is mounted.

Have any of you guys run in to this during the install?
