[@Ry77x]

I’m not as scared as much about doing this myself now. Still scared but not as much. Great video sir!

[@motorpro2745]

Excellent video, who needs a stinkin press! not me after watching this video, thanks cartapes.

[@peterjlindley]

That is one of the best rebuilding video's that I've seen. Great camera work, great editing, but mostly, the rebuilding done by someone who knows their stuff and explains all aspects of it. I'll definitely check out your other video's.

[@rorydaddy]

Thanks for the great information, I found A 3/4” drive socket works great for a Driver!

[@WilsonAutoworks]

[@johnnybarajas4315]

I have a 75. Does one of the bushings on the top arm stick out more than the other on yours?

[@ryanhill906]

Do I miss the late 80s/early 90s or what?!

[@thedevilinfrankenstein6503]

WOW!!! way better videos. Very informative and slow paced to understand as I am doing my front end on my G30 Chevy. I love these step by step videos!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR SHARING. You got yourself a new subscriber. 👨‍🔧❤️🚗🚙🚐🚘🚖❤️👨‍🔧

[@benoitlambert100]

that is a darn good video. Thank you

[@CHEECHMUN]

Well explained!!!!

[@HOGSIDESJTV14BOSSHOGRECORDS]

Good job .direct replacement show.done well.simply not complicated.shops want you to think otherwise.

[@johnsmith-zi7jh]

My 01 Lincoln control arm is like the first in video. It has two different size bushings, a front that is smaller and a back that is larger. I didn't have a big drill so I made a yard fire and burnt the rubber innards out of the bushing, leaving only the outer shells of the old bushings. I didn't realize that my front bushing, the smaller of the two, would press into the old bushing sleeve. I beat both bushing sleeves out, then realized the front bushing opening was now too big 😭. The rear bushing matched up to the front bushing hole, pressed in & set properly. Just a little job info to share. I used a grinder and cut 3/4 of the way into the outer bearing sleeves, grinder wheel bit and broke the grinder wheel. I grabbed a sizable screwdriver with no handle and a ball peen hammer. I beat those sleeves like a burglar @ my bedside for a day & a half. The outside lip of the bushing sleeve "appeared" to be possibly spot welded in spots, like just before it was fully pressed in at the factory they spot welded in spots, then press it the final 1/4 inch to seat it? So in summation the video was very accurate, I would strongly suggest a grinder or sawzall set up for metal cutting application, a metal chisel, sizable hammer, and a metal blade on the hacksaw. Of course a bearing/bushing puller to re seat bushings & a can of spinach or two. Don't forget to bring your big boy pants, wear a belt & lace up your boots tight.

[@nohemoglibin8677]

Thanks to your video series, my 1963 Bel Air will be back in action soon.

[@robertkinney9925]

He looks like a "wild and crazy guy" but I agree a terrific "diy" tape.

[@gregorytinkler5385]

Are you a wizard

[@Generaider]

I'm restoring the suspension on a '69 Catalina that has those oval bushings on the lower control arm. I would prefer to replace it all but finding a way to pop in the new sleeve hasn't been easy

[@baileyward1]

I'm having the same problem on a 1970 pontiac gto. The part I bought already has a metal sleeve around the oval, or rear front lower control arm. So is he getting the middle rubber with the shaft as a kit or cutting off the metal sleeve on the "moog" replacement?

[@johnsmith-zi7jh]

Really good vitya, my control arms like the first one. I couldn't get the outer sleeves of the bushing to move, I never thought a crushing it like a beer can. Totally changed my attitude about doing it tomorrow.

[@xander-R467]

Great Video. That's exactly what I was looking for... Build my '74 Firebird and that vid helps to clear my questions... Cool old school video for old school cars. Thank a lot for uploading

[@RicsChevys]
