Default Re: Crossfire hacks to make it mine!

So rather than get into a pissing contest I told them to do both sides. Labor and parts is going to be $1036.00 to do the job. Made an appointment for Monday. Unless there is something I don't understand about pressing in bushings I plan on using the old control arms, cleaning them up and pressing out/in new bushings with my 20 ton press. I'll try on selling them as rebuilt on eBay or here on the forum. Any conflicts that I'm not aware of? Thanks
Super interested to hear how it works out

I mean pressing new bushings into the existing control arms.

I need to do mine and that is a far more cost effective solution to buying the complete arm
