I've got the part number 4.3154 Urethane bushing set, and after looking things over, I'm a bit confused. I assumed this set four would replace all the bushings where the four arms connect to the spindles...but in reading the "generic" instructions, I'm not sure. It does not look like there are bushings at the crossmember attachment, but I can't tell. Two of the bushings are smaller than the others, and it looks like the smaller ones might go into the rear arms, while the larger ones go into the front arms...which the sway bar links are also attached to. Could someone who's done this comment?

I emailed Energy two weeks ago, and have no response from them.

Also, it looks like ... if I can get a small press in place under the vehicle, I might be able to remove/replace these bushings without removeing the arms from the car. It looks like the arms, once freed from the spindles & sway links might just hang down enough to make this work...or maybe this is more hassle. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks,

Rich

If you could find the right arbor/channel I do not see why you couldn't press them in by dropping one side at a time and using something like a ball joint press & air tools.
