Default Help with control arm bushing.

My upper control arm bushing is coming out, has this happen to any
one before. And how hard is it to press back in. If I take the
control arm off can a shop just press it back in for me.Thanks for any help.

"normal" track wear. you cannot press it back in as it is bonded to a control arm. once it is pushed out to the point where you cannot see it on one side at all, you need to either switch to polyurethane bushings or get a new control arm
