00 S80 lower control arm bushing replacement

Post by wolfspiritky »

I have had a slight "clunking" noise in the right front that has gotten progressively worse over the past week. It appears to be a worn rear control arm bushing. I ordered all 4 front lower control arm bushing from FCP GROTON. It would be stupid to replace just the "bad" one!!

My question......do these have to be mechanically pressed out and in or can they be muscled and hammered?

VADIS shows a hydraulic press with various attachments to ensure the new bushing is at the right depth and angle.
