Default Front poly upper control arm bushing! help!
I screwed up the poly bushing I was pressing in(the front single piece bushing). I need another but they only sell kits. Anyone have an extra one rolling around?

Contact the manufacturer they will most likely send you a replacement for little or no charge.

Thats cool. I have had that happen before, where I screw up and get replacements for free or at a discount.

Pay attention to the direction the slightly concave washer's point! I screwed up one of my A-arm installs. Luckily, I was able to press it back out without damaging the bushing too much
