Default 2002 v70 lower control arm busshing replacement

Anyone ever done one? I've found online they sell just the bushing to replace it in the control arm. I not sure if there like most cars where the bushing cant be pressed out. Moreless its build into the control arm.

Heres the link to the bushing. there only 30 bucks. But also found the lower arms for 67 bucks. Im think it might be worth the 68 bucks to not have the headache of pressing out the old.

Thumbs up

the bushings/inserts are available local to me in Atlanta area from AutoZone and Advance Auto for about $28 each, but they want around $160 for new lower control arms. For $60-$70, I would surely buy the complete control arms so I wouldn't have to mess with finding someone to press the old bushings out and new ones in. I wonder if these Karlyn control arms you found are junk? Probably same thing as I'd buy for the $160 ...................

Thats what I was thinking. But I wanted to see what some of you guys think about those options. Im not sure on what options, sacrifice quality for price or vice verse

Read "Lower Control Arm Bushing" in the following link to hear my horror story on replacing the bushing.

I'd do whole arm in the future.
