Default energy suspension bushings installed?

does anyone know of a place in the greater tampa area that will do this for me at a relatively good price?

i talked with colin...and he said he doesn't have a press to get the old bushings out...so he would have to take it to napa...etc...and said he really doesn't want to do that.

any other places?

thanks, chet.

i know its the worst job ever, but maybe thats what i'll end up doing at some point.

i've done everything else to this car besides some tuning and electrical things...and i'd be happy enough if i could just pay someone 150-200 dollars and come back in a day with all new bushings. wishful thinking i know...but i don't have a second car while i'm here at school.

I spent an entire day on my teg and only got the front done, using a torch to burn out the old ones, I've heard even with a press it can turn into a 2 day job.

Default Easier than you think.

I was so worried about doing my bushings, but it ended up not being that bad. I took all four lower control arms to NAPA and they pressed the bushings on each arm for like $8-10 per arm. Install was relatively easy and they feel good. The longest delay was back order of parts.
