Default press fit bushings

Does anyone know if a 6 ton press is enough to press fit the bushings into the control arms?

Thanks

Should be plenty. Be sure to back up the control arms well when pressing in.
I usually just whack em in with a block of wood and a mallet, they don't need that much force.

Regards, Andrew.

should be more then enough. I bet you could probably do it on an arbor press with a bit of Ruglyde or some other lubricant. ANyway, the more tons, the easier it is, but the more likely you will crush something when you don't want to.
