I made an earlier thread about my lower fork bolt being stuck and stripped today i cut it off and took out old bushing after a lot of effort and now the Moog K9761 bushing wont go in it seems too big I loaned the bushing press from advance but it never goes in straight and i cant even hammer it in to line it up to try the press again...

HELP! cars in a friends brothers driveway like 10miles away from me :/

A guy I know told me he would take ball joints and stick them in the freezer overnight and the cold would cause shrinkage, just enough to help the ball joint go in a little easier. I have not tried that one myself, but it may be worth a shot, or you could listen to the post above mine...

i woke up this morning and just took off control arm took me 45 minutes by myself most of the time spent dealing with the sway bar end link which ended up snapping off anyways...shop charged me $20 to press the bushing in with their 30ton hydraulic press
