I didn’t replace my lower control arm bushings with at the time about 68k on truck. They still seem good with 86k. From what I hear they tend to outlast the uppers.The lowers are a PITA. @Caman96 or @Orpedcrow did you replace yours? I ruined one of the sleeves by having my socket off center. I have a set on the way that I can rob the sleeves from though.
Oh yeah, I forgot yours is relatively low miles.I didn’t replace my lower control arm bushings with at the time about 68k on truck. They still seem good with 86k. From what I hear they tend to outlast the uppers.
I’ll give ‘er hell tomorrow. That press is nice to have. I pulled it out of the corner of the barn and went to town. Took me about 45 minutes to figure out the best way to get the first upper bushing out. Second one took 2 minutes. So I’m hoping once I have a good system for the lowers it will go faster. This has been the only part that’s given me trouble.I replaced them on one arm, pushed out the other arm to find that the arm had different sized bushings in it so I replaced all the arms with DJM.
I’ve done a handful of control arm bushings on several cars though. You’re right, they are a pain. Sorry you’re having a hard time.

I need to get the adapter set. The basic set only has three. HF wanted $80 for the master set.You’ll get’em worked out!
the press definitely makes it less physically tiring. the c-clamp press works pretty good too if you can get all the adapters and spacers sorted (if you have an impact) pressing ball joints and bushings with a ratchet is not a fun time.
