Completed replacing front A-arm bushings (w/ OEM) and ball joints yesterday. The method of drilling a series of holes around the old rubber worked really well for getting the old bushing out. I can't imagine trying to get the new ones in without a press... Ball joints were easy. I looked carefully for cracks in the (steel) steel, especially at welds with a little dye penetrant. Saw nothing and so re-used them...

Burning out the rubber with a tortch also works well . Its alot less work , but alot more smell ..... !
