the control arm bushings are a pita and a mess to get out the old ones w/ a torch. I think he still has instructions on he site(with pics) that shows you how to do it

There are instructions on the site. It's easy. I did in on an '88 LeBaron. I can't remember if the bushings are in the K frame or control arms. Either way, you heat the metal around the bushing with a torch. The rubber expands and pushes itself out of the hole. Have a bucket with water handy to catch the bushings as they will mess up whatever they touch. Also don't touch the hot rubber with your skin. Ouch. The new bushings push in with the lube provided. Good Luck.

Actually,the 91+ cast arms are easy. I just pound out the old stock rubber bushings with a ballpeen hammer. Sometimes you need to use like a 1 1/4 socket backwards on a 1/2" drive extension to get them out. Done about 5 or so sets with no problems ever. The new polys are easy to put in as well since they are two halves you just slide one in each end. Make sure you use the lube
