Upper control arm issues.....
After my last outing (see avatar) I noticed I had a lean to the drivers side up front. Upon futher inspection today I found the bushings on my drivers side upper control arm are toast. The bolt is at the bottom of the control arm instead of centered.
It looks like a big job to fix it. I have ordered Energy bushing kit for it, but cant find a writeup on how to fix it.
I would love to make this the excuse to do the 598,659,853th SAS, but money is an issue at the moment.

I have some urethane bushings at home. I have had them for 3 years. I bought them, and NWOR said they were easy to istall; BS. So when I went to do it over a weekend when I was doing a 4" lift i discover how much of a PITA it was. You have to have the old ones pressed out, and the new ones pressed in. I tried to return them and being NWOR, even though they messed up, they wouldnt take them back.
I have decided not to install them still, i think I will get a worse ride with urethane than rubber.
