Dies for Control Arm Bushings
I'm looking for a set of press dies to replace the front upper control arm bushings with Energy Suspension urethane bushings. These require that you press out the factory metal shell from the factory control arm along with the rubber bushing itself. Does anyone have the appropriate dies required to do this? What about a shop/friend who would press them out for me for a 6-pack :)?

I'm actually in SC now, but McMaster had a solution for me.

$40ea. for the dies, and it takes 2-3 weeks for them to be made. I believe that when the parts are ready they alert you and ask for your shipping method then collect payment for that.

Happy to verify the sizes that anyone needs and if it matches what you need...........just send me $$$ to cover shipping, with promise to return when you are done. |

:crazy: WHAT!?!?!?!!! That's CRAZY! I think mine cost 6-8 dollars total and gas to travel around to a few different parts shops.

The lower control arms still need to retain the OEM metal sleeve, right? So you'll be burning those out. I'm guessing you needed the dies for the UCA bushings?

exactly, the metal bushings in the lowers need to be burned out. it's a pain. I recommend prothane bushings, they're the same price as energy suspension and don't require burning out the bushings
