Installed my Steeda Upper and Lower Control Arms this weekend. It went smooth except for one thing. You have to take the old rubber bushings out of the axle, but leave the shell in. The directions said to drill into the bushing and just keep working the bit between the shell and the bushing. YEAH RIGHT!!!! What a pain in my ass!!! Well, I got smart and the next day brought a knife for the other one. But then the guy at the garage that I was using found an interesting tool. It was like a saw blade that had been bent and formed into a cylinder shape. You hook this up to a cord drill and drill right into the bushing. Then I used a wire wheel attached to the drill to clean off the excess rubber left over. Worked wonders!! Just a little info in case anyone does this mod. Car is no longer sloppy in the ass end!! I love it!! I can just whip it into hard corners without worrying about losing the tail.:xpl:
