Won't work on a Ford F-150 the flared end of the bushing is the same size as outer part of the control arm so there is no room at all for the cup to push against. won't work if I try it from the other side of the bushing either. If you know a trick I don't let me know asap. tried to remove the bushings today but may have to buy the entire LCA assembly. 205 bucks each at AutoZone.

Nice if you can rent these tools in the US. Where I come from that is - as far as I know - not possible. The problem with those universal sets / tools is that they are quite expensive, and unless you are a pro-mechanic you will maybe need the tool once every 5 years or so and hence you will have a very expensive tool laying around for no good reason.

Thanks, this seems relatively easy.
But it seems like most garages will NOT do this. They want to charge me for the complete part (i. e. new lower control arm) instead.
Are they trying to scam me and increase their profits, or is there another reason?
PS - Will most auto stores still lend these out for free?

I tried renting that same kit from my local parts for my truck's upper control arms and while I was able to get the balljoints out just fine, none of the adapters fit the bushings. I also tried renting a bushing driver kit from them but all those adapters were too small!

I am going to borrow this tool from AutoZone to pull a bushing out of a 1974 Case 580 Backhoe front axle pivot. Doing this on the ground vs lifting this onto a press table is a no-brainer. It takes 3 people to pick up this axle and that is BARE. Bart D. Hull Laveen. AZ

Auto Zone wants 240. 00 deposit to borrow the tool. Theirs looks nearly brand new, Medford Oregon is a poor town, we can't be laying out that kind of cash even if we do get it back.

Always a good idea to insert a metal spacer of the correct thickness in the control arm next to the bushing before using the press. Great video!
